Patient's question:
Previously, I had long-term sexual activity, which has led to the shrinkage and reduction in size of my testicles. In the past year, my bowel movements have been irregular—either fragmented or small, lacking the current firmness and color. Is there a connection between these two? Can the testicles grow back if they have shrunk?Doctor's answer:
Long-term sexual activity can easily lead to sexual dysfunction, urinary tract infections, prostate diseases, and kidney deficiency. It can also affect physical development to some extent. If you are considering abstaining from sexual activity, consuming more foods that tonify the kidneys and nourish blood, or seeking treatment from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, can effectively regulate bodily functions and stabilize testicular health.Irregular bowel movements are generally related to spleen deficiency and damp-heat. For testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely, targeted treatment and maintain a regular sexual life while avoiding prolonged sitting in daily life.
