I had mumps at 16, am i infertile?

Question

I had mumps at 16 and my face swelled like a hamster. Im male, am i now infertile?

Answer 1

I doubt it. Mumps in males is harder than girls but usually won't have any long term affects. My son got them at 17, but he's the father of two boys now. Very rare that they make you sterile. As long as you stayed in the bed I'm sure you are fine. But if you're really worried about it go get your sperm checked.

Answer 2

Mumps can make you infertile, but not always. Did you ever have any pain in your groin area? If not, you are probably fine. You should ask a doctor if you really want to know. Always use condoms anyway.

Answer 3

It's doubtful that you're sterile. When an adult male has mumps complete steriltiy is rare and usually limited to one testicle. You had mumps at 16 and you were not an adult male.

Answer 4

There is a chance.It happen all the time 30 years ago.Ask your mom if the doctor said there was a chance.

Answer 5

I had at 2-3 yrs old! Thanks to the Amish! No, I've had kids! I've still immune too but I got the 2 mmr anyways

Answer 6

I'd go to a doctor to confirm that my fish could still swim.

Answer 7

Did the swelling go to your testicles? If you had swelling in your testicles you should be checked by the doctor, if not, you should be OK.

Answer 8

Go consult a doctor and stop dreaming to your demise.

Answer 9

I wouldn't count on it. Have your sperm counted to see what your actual production is.

Answer 10

How in this world would I know if you are fertile or not.
Go see a Urologist and have your sperm checked.
