A member asked:

Can a man with a severe brain stem injury still have kids?

Dr. Jalal Zuberi answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Yes: There is no relationship between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and sterility or Soren count, unless it has caused erection issues. A good neurological assessment would be reassuring. PT/OT should help you get on with your regular life activities. Feel better!
