Thank You So Much I thought My question Would Never Be answered.

The Surgery Was Performed For Bi-Lateral Undescended Testes My Review Is Coming Up two Weeks I am Just Very Anxious Because Of What Is Said About My Situation On the Internet About Testosterone Troubles, Fertility Issues And Cancer Malignancy

Thanks Again I will Take Your Advice On Board And Hopefully I will be Able To put My Worries To Bed.

Hi there!

This would depend on what was the surgery performed for. If there have been testicular issues since a long time, there could be fertility issues. A testicular biopsy for sperm salvage and storage may be performed in cases where considered necessary, I would suggest discussing the situation and the appropriate management plan in detail with your treating urologist.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
