What are the symptoms of testicular atrophy?

Due to the influence of work, life, environment and other factors, more and more people suffer from various diseases. For men, the most painful thing is men's diseases, such as testicular atrophy. At this time, patients will find that their testicles are small and soft, and even have symptoms of testicular pain. This is not only physically tormenting, but also affects men's fertility and psychologically makes men suffer. Let's take a look at the symptoms of testicular atrophy below.

Testicular atrophy in men is generally caused by the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria, which causes inflammatory changes such as congestion and edema of the testicular tissue, and then causes inflammatory obstruction, which affects the blood supply system of the testicle, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the testicle and nutritional disorders. Over time, atrophy will occur. In addition, testicular congestion and swelling and insufficient blood supply due to kicking, beating, scratching, pinching or riding injuries can also cause testicular atrophy due to malnutrition. The volume of the atrophied side is significantly smaller than the healthy side of the testicle. Some common lesions include a series of endocrine disorders and other diseases such as hypothyroidism or pituitary function, viral orchitis and testicular syphilis. If a child has a persistent high fever for a long time, it may also lead to testicular atrophy.

Symptoms of testicular atrophy

Clinically, one or both testicles may be atrophied, small and soft, and occasionally hard or slightly swollen. In addition, patients may have varying degrees of incomplete development of secondary sexual characteristics. If male breasts develop, puberty is delayed, and even male feminization may occur. At present, the internationally used testicular volume measuring device is often used to measure testicular volume. The size range of Chinese testicles is 15-25. In clinical practice, those with a size smaller than 12 are often diagnosed as "testicular atrophy." In addition to measuring the size of the testicles, attention must also be paid to the texture of the testicles. If the texture of the testicles becomes soft, it indicates that the degree of damage is more serious. In addition, semen examination is also very helpful for diagnosis. However, the most accurate method for diagnosing testicular atrophy is testicular biopsy.

The impact of testicular atrophy on the body

1. When men suffer from testicular atrophy, their bodies will have a long-term fever and they will be more afraid of cold.

2. Male patients with testicular atrophy will feel pain in the testicles. This pain will spread to the male's scrotum, all the way to the thigh root, and finally to the male's groin area, and then present as radiating pain, which has a great impact on men.

3. The testicles of male patients with testicular atrophy will be enlarged and swollen, and squeezing the testicles will also cause pain. If the testicles are purulent, the purulent accumulation inside the testicles will feel waving after touching the testicles.

4. Testicular atrophy is usually accompanied by a reddish coloration of the scrotum skin and swelling, and there may also be fluid accumulation inside the scrotum.

5. When some children develop testicular atrophy and the testicles become toxic, they may develop mumps-like symptoms with noticeable swelling and pain.

6. Men with testicular atrophy will have an increase in white blood cells, and during urine tests, hematuria and white blood cells will also be observed.
