Patient's question:
I want to know, if the testicles are small, will it affect fertility!Doctor's answer:
If the testicular atrophy is physiological, as long as it can produce sufficient normal sperm, there is generally no problem. However, pathological testicular atrophy affects fertility. Pathological testicular atrophy and shrinkage are usually due to the susceptibility of spermatogonia or primary spermatocytes in the seminiferous tubules. When these cells atrophy and cannot grow sperm, or are damaged and unable to produce normal sperm, it manifests as testicular atrophy and shrinkage, often accompanied by infertility. Therefore, whether testicular atrophy affects male fertility depends on the specific situation. Hence, it is recommended that you first undergo medical examination at a hospital and then receive targeted treatment to achieve fertility.
