Hello
Thanks for query .
You were born with bilateral undescended testicles and Orchiopexy was done on Rt side and testicle was placed in Inguinal canal .Subsequently Lt testicle has to be removed microscopically as it was located in abdomen .

The biopsy of the Testicles have revealed absence of Spermatogenic activity in Rt Testicle .

In view of absence of spermatogenesis it is not possible to get live active sperms from your Rt testicle for IVF or ICSI.

Unfortunately there is no effective treatment to stimulate spermatogenesis as the testicle has already been atrophied .
