Hi,
Ideal age for fixing the
undescended testes is 6 months to 1 year. After this age, if the testes are left undescended, then due to high temperature of body pelvis, the damage to testes is there and hence genesis of sperms is badly affected. This damage increases more, with age, if remedial measures by surgery are not taken to retrieve the testes in scrotal cells.
Particularly, if both the testes are left undescended by the age of 12,then chances of having
azoospermia are almost 100%. In your case, as you have been operated very late, hence, azoospermia is there. Unfortunately, chances of
pregnancy are almost nil. IVF, may be successful in very rare cases, if some sperm may be retrieved from testes by specific procedure. However, this all has to be done under guidance of your doctor /
fertility specialist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
