Dose not hi: The problem you describe are not from that level of X-ray exposure. The issues that you are describing need a good evaluation from a urologist

The CT had: no effect on your sperm count or erectile function. Radiation risks from diagnostic x-rays are primarily concerned with cumulative, long-term cancer risks. Best bet is to see a urologist for an evaluation.
