A member asked:
My husband had mumps as a child. is he infertile?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
not from the mumps: He may or may not be fertile, but mumps as a kid is rarely if ever a cause of any testicle problems in kids or fertility consequences to an adult. Mumps is known to cause testicular inflammation in adults, but even then does not always impair fertility.
