Question 1

is it possible to be born with a third testicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes but this is extremely rare. A "third testicle" is usually a cystic mass of one of the testicles and should be evaluated by a urologist.

Question 2

i wasn't born with 3 testicles but over the past couple years it feels like i have had a smaller third one and i don't know what to think of it i've kept it to myself all this time but im starting to get more scared of it and im asking for any info?

Accepted Answer

: Time for you to go have this examined. The chances of this being a normal finding approach zero. It might be something simple and easy to explain or something that could put you in an early grave. Contact your doc and go in as soon as you can do so.

Question 3

is it possible that my son was born with just one testicle?

Accepted Answer

See below: It is possible. He should be evaluated by a pediatric urologist. He may have a retractile testicle, an undescended testicle or testicular agenesis.

Question 4

please tell me, could a man born with one testicle impregnant a woman?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As long as the single testis is making healthy sperm, one will do quite well. The other issue is why just one. If a proper workup has not been done, it is important he other testis should be looked for. If it is in the abdomen it can become cancerous and be too far along to save the patient.

Question 5

i was born with one testicle. im 18 and i just noticed a few years ago that i seen to have one testicle. i gave my left testicle but my left one seems to either be missing or is extremely small. i cant feel anything their?

Accepted Answer

: I would visit with your doc and seek testing to confirm this. For some, the 2nd testis remains in the abdomen and has a higher lifetime risk of cancer if not removed.

Question 6

my son was born with one testicle. can he have a replacement?

Accepted Answer

Replacement ?: The workup of this problem includes looking for the missing testicle, which could be high in the groin or inside the abdomen. The area is explored at surgery and if found, an attempt is made to bring the testicle into the scrotum.If there is no testicle a synthetic one could be placed.Waiting until puberty to do so could avoid repeated surgeries.

Question 7

can boys be born with three testicles?

Accepted Answer

Yes! But very rare.: A boy can have more than two testicles, a condition called polyorchidism. This is extremely rare, with a 2009 meta-analysis documenting only 140 histologically confirmed cases in the literature. The exact cause is unknown, but some event in the fetus at 8 weeks causes the developing genital tissue to divide abnormally. Treatment is controversial, with some having the extra testis removed.

Question 8

sir, actually one of my relative born with only one testicle so is there any chance of any disease and can he become a father of healthy baby..?

Accepted Answer

Undescended testis: Ideally, the testicle is either brought down from the abdomen region or removed in the first several months to couple of years after birth. This practice promotes fertility and prevents cancerous changes.   That being said, men with one healthy normal testicle can still father children. Best wishes

Question 9

what happened if anyone born with one testicle! did he will face any problem in his sex life or anything else?

Accepted Answer

Usually OK: The other testicle is simply not descended into  scrotal sac.  Once the undescended one is brought down between 6 and 9 months, even the fertility is close to normal.

Question 10

can someone born with  two testicles but one not in position bear a child.when he produces sperms ?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: One undescended testicle should not prevent a man from fathering children.
