Rubbing Alcohol Exposure to Testicles

Tags: rubbing alcohol, testicles, fertility

A while back, I had about to get in the shower, but I was using rubbing alcohol to clean a cut on my hand when the bottle slipped out of my hand and spilled rubbing alcohol onto my testicles. I can't remember if it was isopropyl or ethyl alcohol, and I felt a burning sensation for a few days thereafter. Is there a possibility of this exposure causing fertility issues down the road. This matter has caused me a great deal of anxiety.

Was the burning feeling external only? I really don't think this would cause any fertility issues. You probably have nothing to worry about.

Yah, was the burning feeling only inside? Or the inside would also be affected? I seldom do some rubbing of alcohol in that part. I'm afraid if there is an effect of it in the external part.
