What Are The Chances Of Fertility Having One Testicle Due To Inguinal Hernia?

Good day Sir/ Madam
My name is hisham, im a pakistani born and living in Dubai, date of birth 29-9-1984
i am worried about my fertility as everyone keeps telling me that i wont be able to have children ever.

when i was 40 days old i had a problem with my testicles, as this is what my parents told me, Doctors over here in dubai were not willing to operate as i was not suitable for it because of that age, but they did perform a minor surgery to relieve the pain, for approximately 21 years there were no symptoms of hernia or such disease but at the age of 21 i started having trouble with my testicles every morning when i used to wake up it would feel as is if the left testicle have moved upwards and left its place and i used to stay in bed all curled up and suffering with an extreme amount of pain and the duration could go from 10 minutes to sometimes 1 hour.So i went to our family doctor and told him about this whole situation, he referred me to a doctor in a government hospital where i was diagnosed with a left inguinal hernia and soon i was operated for it, now i have only one testicle remaining which is the right side. I have never had sex and am not married till now, i have tried masturbating and normaly i do it once in a month or so. but once i tried masturbating twice in a row and was successful. after that i never tried it again.
now the thing is all my cousins and my friends keep telling me that i wont be able to have children and things like these, but when i was operated my doctor who is also my relative told me that it will work properly and that i will be able to have children but i doubt him and his answere because he could not face me when he was giving me this answere. and many older people told me that im not fertile enough.

Hello,

Only one testis is required for sperm production.
You can go for a semen analysis to look for sperm count and motility.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
