i have at least 5 patients who fatheref a baby with only one testis. it is possible if thr single testis is absolutely normal. so if there us doubt, get semen analysis done. loose feling in scrotum is normal. but if you feel nide, it should be taken setiously, get check up by doctor and scrotal scan done.

Many of my patients fathered their baby despite having ine testis, provided the single testis is working normally. but it is needed to find out where other testis is located. an abnormal ly located testis may undergo malignant changes and may need removal. pls read- https://drsujoydasgupta.needstreet.com/post/semen-analysis-abnormal-sperm-count-/2117
