Does male factor infertility impact on self-esteem and sexual relationship?

abstract：:Some cases of testicular trauma cause infertility especially when the injured testes are not removed. However, only a few long-term follow-up studies investigating endocrinological and semen parameters in patients who had testicular trauma have been conducted. Herein, we report an interesting case of a patient who spo...
