Patient's question:
My testicles are very small. Can they be enlarged through medication? Since puberty, I have felt that my genital development has been poor, especially when my penis is flaccid, it appears short, and my testicles are also very small (the size of pigeon eggs) and do not hang properly, always staying close to the base of the penis. This may be due to short spermatic cords, or it could be that my testicles are small and light, making it impossible for them to hang properly. Sometimes after ejaculation, they even retract into the abdomen. As a result, my overall genitalia are not as large as those of a normal person (though my other secondary sexual characteristics are normal). So, I want to ask if it is possible for small testicles to recover?Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding the question of whether testicular atrophy can be reversed, this condition can be evaluated by urology examination to determine if the testicles are atrophied. Lifestyle adjustments and dietary management can be considered. Urology color Doppler ultrasound or sex hormone tests can provide clear recommendations. It is advisable to maintain a light diet, enhance nutrition, and supplement with zinc moderately. Consuming tonifying foods for the kidneys can also be beneficial. Urology color Doppler ultrasound of the testicles and sex hormone tests can provide further clarity. If necessary, medications such as testosterone undecanoate may be used. This is the answer to the question of whether testicular atrophy can be reversed.
