Hernia and Fertility
Posted: 06-12-08 23:17pm

Hi, my boyfriend told me recently that he had a inguinal hernia when he was a baby. He had it operated on when he was 3 years old, but he said it still hurts when he tries to lift heavy objects or strain himself. Can a hernia in the testicle and surgery at such a young age affect his fertility? We have been together for a very long time, and I'm seriously considering marriage with him. I absolutely want to have children some day, but I'm too afraid to ask him.

Thank you,

Marie

Inguinal hernia and its surgical correction shouldn't cause male infertility.
He can make a spermogram if he assume about any sterility problem.
