What are the symptoms of testicular atrophy?

Patient's question:

I feel that the tubular tissue in my right testicle is less than on the left, as if it has atrophied, but the size of the testicles is almost the same. I don't know what's going on?
First follow-up question: What could be the possible reasons for this? Could you please provide more details?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally there are quite a few reasons, both outside the testicles such as injury; and also testicular itself causes like orchitis, epididymitis, inflammation of the vas deferens, inflammation of the scrotum, and other types of inflammation. As for whether it's severe or not, first of all, it depends on your own feelings. Secondly, some people's testicular injuries may not be severe, but they damage the blood-testis barrier, allowing antigens to enter the bloodstream and produce antibodies, which can lead to agglutination or immobilization, resulting in the loss of fertilization ability and affecting fertility. It is best to go to a local hospital for proper diagnosis and treatment.
