A member asked:

Does testicular microcalcification affect fertility?

Dr. Gerald Mandell answered

Specializes in Nuclear Medicine

Maybe: Testicular microlithiasis (TM) uncommon pathologic condition that is commonly diagnosed by scrotal ultrasonography. Indirect evidence suggests that TM may be associated with an increased risk of testicular malignancy and infertility.Greater amount of calcifications seems to have greater relationship to cancer and infertililty.
