Single Testicle Due to Testicular Torsion Posted: 07-01-04 15:29pm
I had one testicle removed last year
because of testicular torsion. I knew
nothing about it at that time, so the pain
told me nothing. I only went to the
emergency room after 48 hours from the
moment that the first pain occured. The
doctor prescribed me some antibiotics and
told me to hold ice on it. It was to late
for any surgery to save it. Only after
almost 2 months of treatment, I had
surgery and the testicle removed.
I never felt any change in sex drive, any
physical changes of any kind and right now
I am engaged to be married.
My question is about fertility...
My fiance wants a family pretty bad, and I
cannot marry her if I cannot have
children. The doctors keep telling me
that everything is alright and I should
not be worried, but the long treatment
period and the large scale infection that
I had makes me wonder...
Does anybody know anything about this,
from own experience or general
knowledge?
Thx!
Ps. Pls don't tell me about spermogrammes
or anything like that, because I did'em
all!

Get a fertility test, its the only way to
be sure. One testicle should be fine
though...
My last GF dumped me because im sterile, i
relized that if that was all it took, i
best not be involved with her, after all,
i was willing to allow doner sperm,
adoption, or anything else she wanted, but
she didnt want me because i cant father a
child. You need to have the test then talk
to her about it..
