Hi,I am Dr. Aniruddha Malpani (Infertility Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I underwent a meatoplasty or meatotomy (don t know for sure which) when I was 3 years old to enlarge my penis opening. I am now 27 years old and with my wife, we have being trying to conceive for 3 years. After two years of nothing happening we went to the gyn and there s nothing wrong with my wife and I m beginning to think it s my problem. Could a broader hole affect my chances of fecundation? Being that the stream doesn t flow directly in a single stream but rather spray all over? Is there something I could do? Thanks

Hello,
Meatoplasty doesn't affect fertility. Infertility has many causes and causes can be from either wife or husband or both also.
From your side have you done your semen analysis?
Tests your wife has to undergo are: - Thyroid hormones - FSH, LH - USG abdomen - Patency of both tubes and many
My suggestion is to please consult a fertility specialist for baby.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Siddartha
