[|Human|] I have a boyfreind weve been together for 6 years were planning to have a baby our situation is he had a past surgery of hernia i want to know having hernia surgery can cause impotent? And my situation is i didnt i didnt go for an ob for a check up but my menstrual period is monthly....Thank you hope you could answer my question
[|AI|]  Hello there, a past surgery of hernia in no way can cause impotency. Secondly I would like to differentiate between impotency and infertility. Impotency means when your boyfriend cannot have an erection while infertility means that your boyfriend can have erection, but you cannot get pregnant due to some problem in the guys' sperm. Both of them are not complications of a regular hernia surgery. Hope this ad Chat Doctor.
