Fertility with one testicle

One healthy testis is often enough for normal sperm production.

Male fertility

Many men with a single testis have normal semen analyses and conceive naturally. Where the remaining testis was also affected — by undescended testis, torsion or cancer treatment — sperm production may be reduced, so testing is worthwhile.

Also known as: one testis, monorchism
