A male’s ability to father children can be affected by testicular cancer and its treatment. If you have testicular cancer and are considering fathering children after treatment, you need to schedule a consultation appointment with one of the fertility specialists at Neway Fertility. We can help you identify your options and keep the possibility of being a father open.
Testicular cancer usually affects one testicle. In most cases, the unaffected testicle can make enough testosterone to keep you healthy. Treatment for testicular cancer can lead to infertility. For this reason, men who may want to father children in the future should consider storing their sperm in a sperm bank. Boys with testicular cancer who have gone through puberty may also want to consider this option. Sperm samples can be frozen for extended periods without damage.
