After reading the undescended testicle
forum I was inspired to ask my own similar
question.
I am twenty years of age and good health,
and in future years fully intend to
hopefully have a family. However, I only
have one testicle. I was born with two
but after, what was only described to me
recently as, a black spot was found on my
right testicle it was (the testicle)
promptly removed on the day I was born. I
have asked my parents to go into further
details but in vain as they get nervous
and refuse to describe it as anything more
than a black spot and that it's nothing to
worry about.
I am, of course, worried. I am too shy to
approach a doctor as I do not wish to
attract any attention to this. If anyone
has any ideas as to what it was and where
my fertility may stand, I would be
incredibly thankful.
Yours

That's a common but old fashioned
euphemism for cancer - black spot.
However, if you have one fully functional
testicle then I am fairly certain you have
every chance of becoming a father

thank you, your reply does bring some
considerable relief. However I was told
that it wasn't "cancer or anything"...
Were they lying?
What else could it have been that required
such drastic surgery?

Ummmmmmm not unless it was maybe
"strangulated"???
Ie the blood supply to it was cut off
because it was twisted or something.
I don't mean to worry you but something
has to be fairly serious for them to
remove a testicle just after birth, you
see a lot of baby boys don't even have
their testicles drop from the abdomen
until a few days after birth.
