Back surgery and fertility Posted: 07-15-08 10:51am
Yes i am recently married and have a
stepdaughter. My wife and i are wanting to
have another child. 2 yrs ago
after some of the surgerys i was paralyzed
and had some nerve damage. I back on my
feet again. We havent had any test ran or
anything we were wondering if with all of
the stuff that has happened if it would
interfere with our chances of getting
pregnant.
I believe that all those back surgeries
shouldn’t have any impact on your
fertile abilities. If spinal nerves
(pudendal nerves) that come out from the
coccygeal spine are somehow damaged you
can have erectile dysfunctions but
fertility itself shouldn’t be affected.
