Does Hernia Operation Cause Infertility?

I m a 30 year old male trying to get pregnant with my wife. I had bilateral hernia repair when I was an infant 18 -24 months. I would like to know if this surgery could somehow affect my fertility. We ve been trying for 6 months. She s in good health, 32 years old and has been seen by an OB/GYN.
