General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I can understand your concern. Only the size of testis and consistency of semen can't conclusively diagnose sterility. Seminal analysis takes into count multiple factors like sperm count, morphology, motility, liquidation time etc. You can try to conceive and see what happens. However if you both choose to get it clear that if his semen analysis is normal you can surely go ahead and get the test done.
