Can you try having a baby if husband has Testicular cancer?

Question

I have a healthy beautiful 2 year old, and want to try for #2, but my husband has a lump and pain on his testicle. I am wondering do you know if it would be safe/healthy to try for 2nd baby or wait to see if it's cancer or just a fluid filled lump???? Can't find anything on google about this.. :)

Answer 1

I'm a testicular cancer survivor and do volunteer work for ManExam. First of all, the most important thing right now is getting him to the doctor. There are several types of testicular cancer and one is very aggressive and fast-moving. Even days can make difference. The earlier it's caught the better the prognosis.



If he has early stages of TC, he will most likely only need the surgery to remove the testicle. But men only need one testicle. If one is removed, the other one takes over to do the work of two. Most men have no problem having kids after the surgery.



Should he be in later stages and require chemo, there is a chance the chemo, not the cancer could make him infertile. Many men will choose to freeze sperm should that be the outcome.



All that being said, it's really important to get a doctor's diagnosis, so you can look at your options. Every man is different, so his situation may offer more options. Good luck, and please get him to the doctor. If my wife wouldn't have made me go to the doctor, I may not have lived.
