According to research by the University of Utah, men with low fertility are more likely to develop testicular cancer. It is said that men with an unusually low sperm count in their semen are ten times as likely to get testicular cancer as fertile men.
In October, a British study had found that women with fertility problems were at a greater risk of ovarian cancer, by 60%.
In the study by the University of Utah, researchers compared the risk of cancer in 20,433 men who asked for medical help for infertility, with the equal number of men who were fertile. The study found that those who had sought help for infertility had three times the risk of developing testicular cancer.
