Hello,
Whether testicular injury has caused scarring or not will depend on the location and the extent of the injury. In extensive injury there can be scarring preventing transfer of the spermatozoa. In addition, the spermatozoa rest and mature in the epididymis several weeks before they are fully developed and are called spermatocytes. A minor ijury should not cause scarring. Wear protective clothing to prevent sports injuries.You can have your sperm evaluated to be sure, but please consult a doctor before that. This is merely an advice and not a substitute for clinical examination. I sincerely hope it helps. Keep me posted.
Best luck and regards.
