Patient's question:
I was discovered by my family at birth to have only one testicle. They thought it was normal and believed another one would grow in two years, but it never did. I once searched on Baidu and found that some people with this condition can reproduce, while others cannot. I am very confused. I hope you can help me with my situation. I have only one testicle, so can I still reproduce?Doctor's answer:
If there is only one testicle, as long as the function of the testicle is normal and the quality of the semen is not problematic, it can successfully complete normal sexual life, so it will never interfere with conception. Therefore, in your case, you can also consider going to the hospital for a routine semen examination. Additionally, it is still necessary to find the reason for the absence of the other testicle. If it is cryptorchidism, surgery is required for treatment.
