    Inguinal herniotomy can lead to testicular size changes and infertility in men. Post-surgery testicular damage is linked to reduced sperm quality and hormonal imbalances, impacting male reproductive health.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Andrology

    Background:

    • Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure.
    • Infertility affects a significant portion of the male population.
    • Testicular size and function are crucial for male fertility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence of testicular size changes after inguinal herniotomy.
    • To evaluate the impact of these changes on sperm quality and hormonal profiles.
    • To compare reproductive parameters between men with and without testicular changes post-surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 131 men who underwent inguinal herniotomy.
    • Assessment of testicular size, semen parameters (concentration, motility, morphology), and serum hormone levels (FSH, LH, testosterone).

  • Comparison of outcomes between men with altered testicular size and those with normal testicular size.

    • Main Results:

    • 14.4% of men (19 out of 131) showed testicular size changes post-herniotomy.
    • Men with testicular changes exhibited decreased sperm quality and hormonal imbalances (elevated FSH, decreased testosterone).
    • A control group of 112 men with normal testicular size also presented with infertility, allowing for comparative analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Inguinal herniotomy is associated with testicular size alterations in a notable percentage of men.
    • Testicular changes post-surgery correlate with impaired sperm parameters and hormonal dysfunction.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the mechanisms and long-term implications of these findings on male fertility.
