A member asked:

Can an abdominal/pelvic ct scan with and without contrast effect sperm or cause the patient to become sterile?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Radiation dose: of a single CT scan should not affect sperm count or fertility. Radiation damage could be cumulative, however, so consult with your doctor to determine if any future CT imaging could be harmful.
