What is the reason for small testicles?

What is the reason for small testicles and do they need treatment? Testicles and the penis together constitute the most important reproductive organs, which determine the male's fertility. Whether the testicles develop normally has also become an important indicator of male health. Many men are troubled by small testicles and are worried that this situation will affect the male's sexual ability, affect the normal and harmonious life of the couple, and also lead to a decrease in the quality and quantity of sperm.

The reason for small testicles is also related to age. Generally, the testicles of infants to children aged 12 are dormant and undeveloped, and the volume is usually around 1 to 4 ml. Boys will enter the development period after the age of 12, and the volume of the testicles will increase. The volume of adult male testicles is 16 to 25 ml, with an average of 19.8 ml. Men after the age of 60 will enter a period of sexual decline, and the volume of the testicles will shrink. After the age of 70, the volume of male testicles can shrink to less than 16 ml. However, if the volume of adult male testicles is less than 10 ml, it means that they have small testicles.

Suggestions: Small testicles can lead to sexual dysfunction and infertility, and can also cause spermatogenesis disorders, resulting in low sperm count or no sperm in men. If you have small testicles, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

There are many reasons for pathological small testicles, the most common of which are chronic wasting diseases, endocrine disorders (hypothyroidism and hypopituitarism), persistent high fever, taking large amounts of female hormones, viral orchitis (such as mumps complicated with orchitis), testicular syphilis, etc. These diseases can cause testicular atrophy, resulting in a volume smaller than normal. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the cause so that targeted treatment can be given.

The testicles are the most important male reproductive organs and are necessary for reproduction. Men's testicles can be compared with normal sizes. If you feel that your testicles grow too slowly or are underdeveloped, you need to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease. In addition, men also need to have confidence in themselves and establish their masculine masculinity.
