Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
First of all you must get your undescended testis in the abdomen removed surgically. This is because there is a very high chance for cancer formation in undescended testes. Please have yourself examined by a surgeon.

Secondly, you can become a father if you have only one testis. However, the sperms produced by you must be normal in number, morphology and motility.

Hope this helps.

Hi, it is still possible to have children with an undescended testicle.  I had two children before having my undescended testicle removed.  I was embarrassed for the longest time and wouldnt go to the doctor to have it checked out. In some cases the testicle can be placed back in the scrotum but in my case it would not stay there so they removed it.  I would recommend having it taken care of as soon as possible. You will feel a whole lot better once it is taken care of.

Hi... Undescended testicles may not perform its functions normally.  Hence fertility may not be the same as in a normal person... There are about 5 to 10% reduction in the spermcount and thereby the reduction in the fertility.. These functions can improve if a surgical correction can be done.. So discuss with your surgeon...
