Suggest Treatment For Testicular Torsion
Hello Sir, I am 28 years male married since 2.5 years. In 2005, at the age of 16/17 years, my left testes was removed. I used to have lot of pain in left testis. Unfortunately this was neglected at that time and hence testis was dead and had to be removed. After researching, I think I had testicular torsion. Unfortunately I have reports or anything preserved of the operation done. Now we are trying for a baby. For 3 months we tried naturally. My wife even had sonography done for follicular study. Also her blood test is normal. This was done by one of the gynaec here. Gyaaec suggested to to semen analysis of mine. And result is very bad. There is NO sperm found in the semen sample. I gave sample twice with 4 days of gap. What could be the reason? What should I do? Am I infertile?

Hi,
It is best if we could have the result of semen analysis to make sure how it is and if there is chance of fertility. Normally men with one testicle are still fertile and should be able to have children unless there was a certain condition that affected the other testis as well.
Testicular torsion affects only the testicle that is having the problem and does not generally affect the other testicle. To conclude I would say that having one testicle removed due to testicular torsion should not affect the function of the other testicle and generally the other testicle should function well unless a specific condition has affected it.
Uploading the semen analysis would help us better understand the chance for fertility in your case and be of more help to you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
