Hi.
Thanks for your query .
First of all you have to clear the misconception from your mind that a low hanging testis has to do anything with fertility, as this is brought up with cold shower.
You have to undergo the semen analysis test to know about the fertility.
Inguinal hernia is better to be operated as it is going to grow over the time and may lead into a complication of obstruction and cause an emergency problem.
