Can too much radiation from x-rays and ct-scan cause infertility in men?

Yes but the level of exposure that the average person would have to receive in order for that to occur is typically more than the typical diagnostic exposure time a patient would receive on a single visit. While CT's to give the most exposure at one time, unless it was a direct shot to the testes, one CT is unlikely (thought not impossible. There are rare exceptions to all cases with radiation) that it would happen. X-rays are far lower dosage and shielding of a patient's reproductive organs is typically done by technologists at all possible times.
