Maybe: It depends on the level of the spina bifida. Low lesions (sacral) can lead to loss of ejaculation. If the man is in a wheel chair, sperm quality can also be affected. Many treatment options are available with a male fertility specialist.

Delivery or content?: Sperm production should not be affected by spina bifida. Erectile function on the other hand certainly can be affected by this condition.
