A member asked:
Doc removed the left testis of my brother during hernia operation after finding out that he had cancer though in very early stage.can he reproduce?

Yes!!: He should have no major problems reproducing. He should make sure that the disease has been taken care off an he is clean of cancer. On this should the accent be put. He needs to be followed periodically to make sure he remains clean of cancer!

Yes: Assuming his right testicle is healthy. He should have tests on his ejaculate to confirm healthy sperm. He should also consider banking his sperm in case his right testicle is damaged or requires surgical removal in the future. Most important part is that surgeon was smart enough to recognize and definitively remove cancer at early stage, so he was cured.
