Does Hernia Affect Fertility?

Yes, a type of hernia called the Inguinal hernia may compress the testicular blood vessels and potentially cause testicular tissue damage. Additionally, surgery for inguinal hernia repair can involve exposure to the spermatic cord structures and obstruction of the vas deferens (tubes that carry sperm).^{1, 2} Studies have shown that these can contribute to a low sperm count and potential infertility.³
