Abstract
A bilateral inguinal herniorrhaphy had driven a testicular atrophy and a iatrogenic hypergonadotropic hypogonadism in two males aged 40 and 31 years. That iatrogenic hypogonadism had shaken the marital life of the 40 years old male despite he was already father of two children. It had almost destroyed the hope of the 31 years old male to become a father. These two woeful cases remind surgeons that the inguinal hernia repair should always be as cautious as necessary to preserve fertility and sexual life.
