I am experienced with the issue because I had a large tumor removed when my wife was preganant for the first time. I was 32 at the time. The only way to know for sure if you are going to have issues with fertility is to go and have an analysis done about a year after your surgery. The fertility can be impacted by various factors depending on your surgery, your medications, hormones, etc. Taking testosterone replacement can impact your body's production of sperm since it is getting the testosterone from the supplements. I was still fertile about 9 months after the surgery because my wife got pregnant again the first month we tired. It was 2 years later when I noticed that my testicles seemed a little smaller and that I was not producing as much semen that I asked my Endo. doctor about it at one of my visits. He told me that it was the effect of the drugs and that I was probalby infertle and that my testicles could continue to get smaller. I went and got checked and I had a zero sperm count. My endo. doctor was no help so I went to see an urologist that had removed the testicle of a guy I knew who had cancer. The urologist was able to put me on HCG and HMG injections and we were preganant within a year. If you get the right doctor who is willing to help there is a very good chance that you can have kids. I may have banked some sperm ahead of time but no one told me that the surgery and tumor could impact my fertility. The HCG and HMG injections are to get your body to start producing fertile sperm again. If you have any specific questions, I would be happy to discuss it with you so just send me an e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED]. We now have 4 kids but only 2 of them were conceived after my first pituitary surgery. |
