Abstract Polyorchidism is an uncommon congenital condition often discovered incidentally, which may significantly impact male fertility. We present a case of a 34-year-old man with unilateral polyorchidism and associated severe asthenozoospermia and teratozoospermia. Despite normal hormonal levels and no detected genetic anomalies, the patient’s sperm showed mitochondrial damage, and his fertility remained compromised after conservative management and assisted reproductive attempts. This case underscores the intricate relationship between polyorchidism and male infertility, highlighting the need for personalized management strategies and further research into its etiology and impact. |
