testical problem

I am 28 years old, and had a angular henia around 4 years ago. I have been fine until about 3 days ago when my testical has constent pain... some moments sharper then others. It kind of feels like my hernia has returned, but I have also noticed a sudden drop in sperm. I used to have a good amount, but now It is almost non existant.
The pain is also on the same side that my hernia occured, but I didn't have any sperm issues associated with that issue.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I do not think that the volume of semen (the total fluid that comes out when you ejaculate, of which only a small amount is truly sperm) is really related except that if you are having pain with sexual activity, you most likely are less sexually excited and this can influence the volume of this fluid.
Your symptoms otherwise could well be due to a recurrence of your hernia, but groin pulls, infections inflammations and tumors may also give you this pain. A joc strap and ice may help your symptoms, but I strongly recommend that you see a urologist to get the problem diagnosed and treated.
