A member asked:
Can a ct scan show if a male is able to have children if there had been an injury to the testicles?

CT Not best study: Best imaging study for testicular injury is with ultrasound. Best first study in male fertility exam is semen analysis.

No: A semen analysis is the first step in assessing male infertility. The ct is not going to be helpful.

No: The ct scan will reveal gross damage to the testes, but will not answer the fertility question. This will be best tested by examining for sperm motility and abnormalities.
