General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this irradiation. It is difficult to tell whether this would cause infertility or not without an idea of how much intensity was used,how many sessions and what the controls after that have been. For now, i will like that you get a semen analysis that would tell whether the sperm production, structure and movements are normal. This would be helpful in evaluating the effects of this radiation and talking about a possible infertility or not. Have you noticed any decrease in the size of your testes?

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be. Thanks for using our services.
