Patient's question:
I have a friend who has never been in a relationship. Later, I heard from him that he had abnormal testicles and was diagnosed with male infertility, which was apparently cryptorchidism. Because of this, he felt extremely self-conscious, thinking he wasn't even a man. I had never heard of this before. Does this condition really cause male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, yes. Abnormal testicles: There are 3 types of abnormal testicles: ① Cryptorchidism, which not only causes infertility but can also induce malignancy; ② Damage to the primordia during fetal development due to adverse environmental factors; ③ Early testicular injury, which can be caused by birth trauma during delivery.
