What is the likelihood of being infertile after a scrotal hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite low: If your other side is normal. The chances of injury to the testicle on the hernia side is low to begin with. Even in the unlikely event that this side is injured somehow, the other side will produce enough sperm.
