Most people with a penis have two testicles in their scrotum but some only have one. This is known as monorchism.
Monorchism can be the result of several things. Some people are simply born with just one testicle, while others have one removed for medical reasons.
Read on to learn how having one testicle can impact your fertility, sex drive, and more.
Having one testicle is usually the result of an issue during fetal development or surgery.
Will it affect my sex life?
Usually not. Many people with one testicle have a healthy and active sex life.
A single testicle can produce enough testosterone to fuel your sex drive. This amount of testosterone is also enough for you to get an erection and ejaculate during an orgasm.
However, if you recently lost a testicle, your healthcare provider can give you a some more detailed guidance on what to expect. It may take a bit of time for things to get back to normal.
Can I still have children?
Yes, in most cases, people with one testicle can get someone pregnant. Remember, one testicle can provide enough testosterone for you to get an erection and ejaculate. This is also enough to produce adequate sperm for fertilization.
