can a hernia cause infertility?

Question

My boyfriend recently had a physical and was told he had a hernia. Could that cause his sperm count to be low? We have been trying to get pregnant since January. I have 3 children from a previous marriage, so I don't think it is me that is the problem. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Additional Details


I am 27 yrs old my youngest is 5. He just turned 41. The hernia is not paining him at all. He did not even know he had one. Could his age be a contributing factor?

Answer 1

nope not at all has nothing to do with the reproductive system
