Does Injury In The Testicle Affect The Capacity To Conceive?
I'm a 40yr old male. I have one child that is 21yrs old. I have always had unprotected sex with the partners I've had even had been married & 2 long relationships that had been 5 to 9 yrs long. I had an injury to my left testicle when I was very young & was wondering since it's been 21yrs since my 1st & only child had been conceived, if I will ever be able to conceive again? Or what my chances are that a normal, fertile woman that I have unprotected sex with, if she could successfully become pregnant with my child?

Hello,
Testicular injury may not always lead to infertility. You can simply go for a semen analysis to assess your fertility capacity. If the sperm count and motility are good, nothing much to worry and your fertility will not be affected.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
