Can testicular cancer cause infertility?

Testicular cancer and its treatment can affect hormone levels and can also affect the ability to father children after treatment. Therefore, it is important to discuss the possible effects with a doctor before starting treatment.

But testicular cancer also can cause low sperm counts, which could make it hard to get a good sample.
