Is it possible to have children with one testicle

Men who, for one reason or another, live with one egg, often complex about this. Often they have a question: is it possible to have children with one testicle? All specialists answer in unison that yes. The number of eggs does not affect a man's ability to fertilize a woman.

The completeness of the male organ

A full-fledged man has two eggs. This part of the male genital organ is a pair of rounded glands covered with a scrotum. Their functions are: the generation and synthesis of male hormones, as well as the production of sperm. The testicles themselves form in the abdomen, dropping over time. But there are times when only one gland goes down. The problem itself does not in any way affect the possibility of fertilization, but psychological trauma can lead to such consequences.

Is the absence of one testicle a problem for egg fertilization

The presence of one testicle in men does not make them impotent. If healthy, it can function for two and produce enough sperm. In order not to worry unnecessarily, consult a doctor and carry out tests for the quality and quantity of sperm. Desperate representatives of the stronger sex sometimes think about whether it is possible to live with one testicle. These are very stupid thoughts and the inability to have children with such a pathology is equated to a myth. If, due to injury or later illness, one testicle was removed, in men, the consequences can manifest themselves only on a psychological level. It is important to know that even with such a congenital or acquired pathology, every representative of the strong half of the population has the opportunity to enjoy all the delights of sexual life. The erection is also not affected.

Preventive measures in the form of self-examination

There are times when, due to injury or illness, one of the eggs is no longer able to function. For the timely identification of the problem, the guy himself needs to periodically feel and examine himself. Here are some things to watch out for:

• both glands should be approximately the same. The permissible deviations can be 4-5 millimeters. If there is a large difference in their diameter, see your doctor
• it is normal for one egg to be slightly lower than the other
• always check the firmness of each testicle. They should be tight. The difference between one and the other in elasticity can signal the appearance of a neoplasm, which is also an urgent reason to consult a doctor.
• The most optimal time to examine oneself is taking a bath or a shower. At this time, the person is in a warm place, and the results of feeling will be more accurate
• if pain is felt in the genital area during self-examination, you need to consult a specialist

Is there a need for testicular implantation

The operation by which a silicone testicle is placed into the scrotum is purely decorative. Since it will not function. And if, for some reason, a man is not able to have children, this surgical intervention will not solve the problem. It is worth contacting a special doctor. This kind of operation is quite common. It is not difficult and lasts about half an hour. It is performed under local anesthesia. A man has the opportunity to choose a prosthesis on his own so that it most closely matches a healthy one. On the side of the scrotum, surgeons make an incision through which the silicone testicle is inserted inward. The patient is discharged three days after the operation. But at home you need to wear a bandage that fixes the testicles in a certain position for a couple of weeks. There is no scar on the scrotum. Everything heals quickly and without visible signs.
