A member asked:
Would someone with an inguinal hernia end up with erectile disfunction and infertility?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, unless: It is far advanced. Ed is usually caused by lessened blood flow to penis, and not affected by inguinal hernia unless it is so large that it obstructs blood flow. Infertility is caused by inadequate sperm, so an inguinal hernia would not affect it unless it is so large that it affects both right and left testicles.

No: There would be no association that i can think of regarding hernia, erectile dysfunction, or infertility. They are not related.
