Mr. Scanlon, 76-year-old gentlemen is interested in a much younger woman and is concerned because of his age. He asks his urologist if he will be able to father a child. What questions would a physician ask this man, and what diagnostic tests would be ordered?

Lucy had both her left ovary and her right uterine tube removed surgically at age 17 because of a cyst and a tumor in these organs. Now at age 32, she remains healthy and is expecting her second child. How could Lucy conceive a child with just one ovary and one uterine tube, widely separated on opposite sides of the pelvis like this?

The man would be asked questions such as whether he has difficulty in urination or problems with impotence. The major test to be run would be to determine his sperm count.

pertaining to the question:
Lucy had both her left ovary and her right uterine tube reomved surgically at age 17 because of a cyst and a tumor in these orgrans.  Now at age 32, she remains healthy and is expecting her second child.  How could Lucy conceive a child with just one ovary and one uterine tube, widely separated on opposite sides of the pelvis like this?

This occurs due to migration of the ovum. Very often, once the ovum is released from the ovary and is not picked up by a tube, it is believed that the ovum tends to move behind the uterus to the other side. Since the tubes are mobile structures, the tube on the opposite end than picks it up.
