Can you still have children if you have testicular atrophy?

Testicular atrophy can be a congenital disease or acquired secondary testicular atrophy. Congenital testicular atrophy is very difficult to cure and can easily lead to male infertility. Acquired secondary testicular atrophy can be cured through patient treatment. In particular, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment is effective for acquired secondary testicular atrophy. Male kidney deficiency or testicular damage is an important cause of testicular atrophy.

Treatment of testicular atrophy can lead to recovery and restoration of fertility. Bilateral testicular atrophy may lead to infertility, as severe damage to the spermatogenic epithelium is seen. Therefore, unilateral testicular damage can still result in fertility, but bilateral damage can lead to oligospermia or azoospermia. Orchitis or epididymitis caused by gonorrhea can lead to loss of testicular function and partial or complete obstruction of the epididymis.

As long as the testicular injury is not "fatal" and is only partial, normal reproductive function can be restored through treatment. For those whose testicles have completely lost their function, treatment should be abandoned and artificial insemination should be used to reproduce. In any case, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time, because this is a more serious disease, and the doctor needs to understand the actual situation before he can have the best treatment plan.

Patients with testicular atrophy should go to the hospital to find out the cause in time. During the physical examination, attention should be paid to the presence of testicles or testicular atrophy, and whether the texture of the testicles has changed. For patients with hypogonadism secondary to pituitary disease, the testicle size may be normal or slightly smaller, which is related to the duration of the pituitary disease. Increased serum PRL also indicates that there is a problem with the pituitary gland, which is often accompanied by hypogonadism. Patients with impotence do not necessarily have low serum testosterone. Patients suspected of having a pituitary tumor need to undergo a cranial X-ray or CT scan to confirm the diagnosis.

In order to find out the cause of testicular atrophy and provide targeted treatment, patients should go to the hospital for prostate fluid, semen, and blood tests. In addition, liver, kidney function, and thyroid function should be checked. Serum testosterone should also be measured. If testicular atrophy is suspected to be caused by penile factors, penile contraction pressure and penile blood flow can be checked.
