Does having only one testicle affect fertility?

We all know that most men have two testicles. If a man has any problems, he will have one testicle removed to prevent the development of the disease. For men, if they only have one testicle, they will first have a sense of inferiority. Some men are also worried that having only one testicle will cause some adverse effects, and even afraid that it will affect fertility. So will having only one testicle affect fertility?

The male testicles are the manifestation of the male's secondary sexual characteristics. The testicles are male internal reproductive organs. Normal men have two testicles, located on the left and right sides of the scrotum. The sperm tubules in the testicles are where sperm are produced. The number of sperm produced in a man's lifetime is astonishingly large, reaching more than 1 trillion. The production of sperm is easily affected by many factors such as temperature. If the temperature around the testicles is too high or affected by chemical toxins, sperm production will be impaired. Interstitial cells produce androgens, which are closely related to male secondary sexual characteristics and physiological functions. Does a man having only one testicle affect fertility?

Experts point out that whether a testicle can produce children mainly depends on whether the testicle has normal spermatogenesis function. If the function is normal, it can produce enough sperm and male hormones, and it will not affect fertility. If there is a problem with the testicle, it will affect the quality and quantity of sperm, which can easily cause infertility.

Since the number of sperm produced by the testicles is very large, up to hundreds of millions per day, and the normal range of sperm counts is relatively wide, even if one testicle is counted, as long as its function is normal, it can produce enough sperm for fertilization. If a man with only one testicle wants to know whether he can have children, it is best to abstain from sex for 5-7 days and go to the hospital for a semen analysis to determine whether the semen is damaged.

It should be noted that the male testicles are extremely important to men. Without testicles, men will not have sperm, and without sperm, they will naturally become infertile. To prevent infertility, men must first protect their testicles. Especially for men with only one testicle, they should pay more attention to protecting it. Although one testicle can also produce children, if it is not well protected, men may face lifelong infertility.

After reading the above introduction, I believe many men will not worry too much about this symptom, because one testicle can also be used for reproduction. It has no effect on men, nor will it affect their sex life, let alone their normal life. For men, one testicle must be properly cared for in the later stage. If a testicle is damaged again, the consequences will be serious, so timely prevention is necessary.
