Patient's question:
I'm not married yet, but I got testicular torsion on the left side. The doctor said that surgery is required to remove it, otherwise the consequences would be very serious. I want to ask if testicular torsion removal will affect fertility? Will the removal of testicular torsion affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
If it is only a unilateral testicular torsion, after undergoing surgery, the other testicle can still function normally in terms of sperm production, so it will not affect fertility. If the condition of the other testicle is also not good, it may affect the viability and development of sperm. It is still recommended to consult with a doctor before undergoing surgery. After the surgery, it is advisable to test the growth and development of the testicle and the viability rate of sperm.
