Summary Some cases of testicular trauma cause infertility especially when the injured testes are not removed. However, only a few long‐term follow‐up studies investigating endocrinological and semen parameters in patients who had testicular trauma have been conducted. Herein, we report an interesting case of a patient who spontaneously recovered from azoospermia due to a traffic injury and present in detail the results of the hormonal examination and semen analysis. The patient was a 22‐year‐old man with a history of left testicular injury and bilateral orchidopexy. Four months after the injury, the semen parameters improved but azoospermia occurred 1 year later. However, spermatogenesis spontaneously recovered without any treatment or without undergoing orchiectomy 6 months after the testicular injury.
