Patient's question:
Last week in the morning, I suddenly felt severe lower abdominal and head pain, to the point where I broke out in cold sweat. My testicles also hurt a lot. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told it was testicular torsion. I don't know why it happened suddenly. Could you please explain: What are the symptoms of a small testicular problem?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, a comprehensive analysis is conducted; there are many reasons for testicular atrophy: there are congenital genetic factors, as well as acquired secondary causes. Congenital factors are relatively rare. Most cases are caused by testicular dysfunction in sperm production or blockage of the spermatic ducts. Due to the inability to conduct a physical examination, a comprehensive understanding of the condition cannot be achieved. For further diagnosis, you should go to a private tertiary hospital's urology and perinatal surgery department for a thorough and detailed examination (such as blood tests, six sexual hormone tests, testicular biopsy, etc.), identify the cause, and then treat accordingly. If the six sexual hormone tests confirm primary testicular dysfunction, a testicular biopsy should be performed. If sperm is present, male reproductive diseases can be stabilized, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and relapse is prone to occur after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medication appropriately!
