Patient's question:
I recently had pain and itching in my testicles. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. What are the reasons for the small testicles?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for small testicles: there are congenital genetic factors, as well as acquired secondary causes. Congenital factors are relatively rare. They are mostly caused by testicular dysfunction in sperm production or blockage of the vas deferens. Due to the inability to perform a physical examination, a comprehensive understanding of the condition cannot be achieved. For further diagnosis, you should go to a private Grade III-A hospital's urology and perinatal surgery department for a comprehensive and meticulous examination (such as blood tests, six sexual hormone tests, testicular biopsy, etc.), identify the cause after the examination, and then treat the cause accordingly.
