Patient's question:
Left testicular atrophy for two yearsDoctor's answer:
Testicular atrophy refers to a condition in which a man's testicles shrink and become soft, also known as "testicular atrophy." It is characterized by the shrinkage and softness of one or both testicles, and most cases can lead to infertility. It is often secondary to mumps or trauma, although congenital cases also exist. Viral infections, particularly the mumps virus, are the most common cause of testicular atrophy in children and adolescents. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, as this is a serious condition. The doctor needs to understand the specific situation before determining the best treatment plan.
