1. What are the reasons for testicle shrinkage?

1. Viral infection. Many adolescents and children may be infected with similar viruses such as mumps virus due to weak immunity, lack of regular exercise and poor hygiene, which will damage the spermatogenic tissue inside the testicles, gradually reduce its volume and make it loose, affecting sexual function. It is necessary to start quality treatment as soon as possible.

2. Is it normal to have small testicles? Will it affect pregnancy?

The size of the testicles is also an indicator of male testicular health. Under normal circumstances, the size of a man's testicles will be around 25 ml. If a man's testicles are small, they are usually only a few ml smaller and will not be too different. However, if a man's testicles are less than 10 ml, it is considered to be small.

Male testicles are the key place for male sperm production and are also the key male reproductive organs. If the testicles develop abnormally, it will lead to the inability to pass on the family line. Male secondary sexual characteristics will undergo certain changes during puberty. If puberty development is abnormal, male testicles may become the size of a baby and continue to show female characteristics.

In addition, if a man's testicles are too small, it may be a case of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. In this case, a detailed examination should be considered, and symptomatic treatment and medication should be combined with the examination results. Some patients with more serious conditions may also require surgical treatment.
