Do small testicles affect fertility in men?

Hi, I'm 29 years old and I have just got married. My wife and I like most couples plan to have children, but I'm kind of insecure in myself. We have been trying to get a baby for 2 months now but she didn’t get pregnant. We are considering some options why this hasn’t happened so far but I'm afraid that it could be me. I have unusually small testicles and I think that this could be the cause. Could that be true? Does the size of mans testicles affect his ability to have children.

The size of the testicles doesn’t have to be in any way connected to ones ability to have children. There are many factors that determine man’s fertility and it is not affected by the size of the testicles. There are many differences between men and the size of the testicles varies on a person to person basis so there is really no ground on which you can say that yours are too small or that testicles of some other man are big enough. In this case the size plays very small roll in the entire story, the main factors of male’s fertility are production of testosterone and the production of spermatozoids, the sperm count. If those values are normal there is no reason why you couldn’t have children like anyone else. There may be many other problems that are preventing you and your wife from having a child. I can't speculate on what these causes are over the internet. If this continues and if she doesn’t get pregnant in the near future then you should talk to your doctor about it, or maybe pay a visit to one of many fertility clinics.

unfortunately that is untrue. it has been proven many times that the larger the testicle......the more sperm it produces (considering of course it is healthy). Even in heard animals they usually keep the bull with the largest testicles and castrate the rest. So sorry to burst your buble, but your unusually small testicles many indeed be contributing to your lack of ability to impregnate your wife.

I would bet that you may have problems with low sperm count. My husband was assumed to be fine. His hormaone levels were normal he had normal sex drive except one "little" problem...he had smaller than normal size testicles. The doctor said not to be bothered by it and advised us to keep trying but I was determined to find out and had my hisband do a sperm sample. He had no sperm at first and after a few more carefule test they found only 100,000. Bottom line your gut feeling is probably write go get a sperm sample if you have small testicles and are having a hard time getting pregnant.

hello,
my beau and i have been having it for about a week or so now and i have been using condoms and spermacides to protect myself against becoming pregnant. well, he wanted it last night, but i didnt have anything to use and i told him and he told me that he couldnt make babies. i dont know whether or not to believe him because he has a habit of playing little joking games with people, but ive noticed that his testicles are really small. i mean they could both about fit in the palm of my hand and i have small hands. would this have to do with anything? i mean, i really want to know if he is or isnt.
