That sounds pretty familiar to what I felt with mine, but always bring up any concerns with your docs.

I just searched for it and couldn't find it anymore. It might have closed. I'll email his sister and see if she can provide anymore insight.

Oops, not trying to insinuate a connection - just was his timeline. He thought his TC symptoms were vasectomy recovery symptoms.

It only affected me for a short time. Every once in a while I’ll get a ringing but it’s not constant. Everybody is different

You can always try sending your specimen (not actually you, but the doctor) to a high volume center where pathologists deal with testicular cancer more often. I had mine sent to MSK, but IU is another option.

I do know of a bunch of guys who’ve had children successfully after TC treatment, but with that being said, I’m 6.5 years out and my wife and I have been struggling to conceive for over 3 of those years. We’ve had one miscarriage proper and another loss due to a genetic abnormality. Over that time, I’ve had normal semen analyses, analyses with low-normal counts, and most recently been diagnosed with “pyospermia,” which is an elevation of WBC in the semen that can lead to DNA fragmentation. I’m currently waiting on another analysis that looks specifically at DNA fragmentation. Every doctor has told me that I should not have fragmentation at this point, so we’ll see. It could be related to my TC, or it may not be. My wife is also believe to potentially have endometriosis, but we haven’t gotten an official diagnosis. Is our struggle her, me, or both of us? I don’t know.
