What should I do if the testicles do not develop properly after inguinal hernia surgery in childhood?

Patient's question:

I had a hernia surgery when I was a child. One of my testicles did not develop properly, and a testicular biopsy showed sperm. I underwent microscopic vasovasostomy and bilateral vasal exploration. Now, after a year has passed, there is still no sperm being produced. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

There are many reasons for azoospermia. Generally, during the process of vas deferens anastomosis, sperm cryopreservation is often performed. Therefore, it is recommended that you have a follow-up examination at the hospital to understand the condition. If necessary, it is advisable to check sexual hormones for a clear diagnosis. In some cases, in vitro fertilization may be an option for testicular patients. For timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease, while delayed treatment can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
