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 spontaneously recovered from azoospermia due to a traffic injury and present in detail the results of the hormonal examination and semen analysis. The patient was a 22-year-old man with a history of left testicular injury and bilateral orchidopexy. Four months after the injury, the semen parameters improved but azoospermia occurred 1 year later. However, spermatogenesis spontaneously recovered without any treatment or without undergoing orchiectomy 6 months after the testicular injury.
有些睾丸创伤病例会导致不育,尤其是受伤的睾丸未被切除时。然而,仅有少数长期随访研究调查了睾丸创伤患者的内分泌和精液参数。在此,我们报告一例因交通伤导致无精子症而自发恢复的患者,并详细介绍了激素检查和精液分析的结果。患者为 22 岁男性,有左侧睾丸受伤和双侧隐睾手术史。受伤后 4 个月,精液参数改善,但 1 年后出现无精子症。然而,在睾丸受伤 6 个月后,无需任何治疗或未行睾丸切除术,生精功能便自发恢复。
