Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us.

Yes cryptorchidism is associated with male infertility. When intervention is done in early age, percentage of infertility decreases.
The incidence of azoospermia(absence of sperms) in unilateral cryptorchidism is 13% and this figure increases to 89% in untreated bilateral cryptorchidism, making cryptorchidism the most common etiologic factor of azoospermia in the adult.

Better to go for semen analysis to check your fertility. The best semen sample is given after 3 days of abstinence. Sample should be given at laboratory or should be reached to laboratory within half an hour.

Revert back to me with report.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
