Kids might feel like a question for later. With testicular cancer, the decision window is now. Here's what to know before treatment, and every TCF guide on fertility, sex and relationships after it.
Certain treatments for testicular cancer can cause infertility that may be permanent. If you might want children, consider sperm banking before treatment.
Sperm banking means freezing sperm and storing it for later use. Ask your care team about it as early as you can, before surgery, chemo, or radiation starts.
