Can a man with small testicles still be fertile?

We all learned physiology in school and have a certain understanding of the human body. The testicles are a kind of male reproductive organ, which is directly related to male health and the eugenics of the next generation. However, due to various reasons in life, there are always problems with male testicles. The most common one is that male testicles are relatively small. Although it does not have much impact on normal life, it may cause problems in fertility. So, can you have fertility with small testicles?

Small testicles are more common in congenital and some in acquired. Common congenital microtesticles include Klinefelter syndrome and congenital microtestis. The testicles are small, but the body is tall. The testicles of such patients do not produce sperm, but can secrete male hormones, so the penis can erect, have normal sexual desire and sexual function, have normal ejaculation and ejaculation, but there are no sperm in the discharged semen, which is also called azoospermia. Such patients have an extra X chromosome, which is a difficult disease among infertility. There is also a kind of congenital microtestis, because the testicles also lack male hormones, the penis is short, lack of sexual desire and sexual function, such patients need to be treated with testosterone, which can increase sexual function, but still lack fertility.

Acquired microtestis is seen in testicular atrophy caused by acquired diseases, such as orchitis caused by mumps before puberty, testicular atrophy caused by long-term consumption of crude cottonseed oil in cotton-producing areas in China, and testicular atrophy caused by long-term effects of physical factors (such as ultrasound, microwaves, radiation, high temperature, etc.). However, the chromosome examinations of these patients are normal, and the function of the testicles to secrete testosterone is normal. The main problem is sperm production disorder. Therefore, it does not affect the development of reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics, nor does it affect sexual desire and sexual function. It is just that there is no sperm in the semen, causing infertility.

In summary, if the testicles are relatively small, it indicates that there are congenital defects in the reproductive system, which also means that the testicles may not be able to produce sperm normally, which naturally has a certain impact on fertility. Therefore, it is recommended that men with this problem go to a men's hospital for timely examination and treatment. As long as they can cooperate with the doctor's treatment, now that medicine is so advanced, it can definitely be cured.
