Why do testicles get smaller?

Testicles are also an important feature of the male body. Generally, after entering puberty, male testicles will gradually grow until they are fully formed. Normally, male testicles will not change much in size after they are fully formed. However, some men find that their testicles are getting smaller and smaller over time, which causes great trouble to men. So what is the reason why male friends' testicles are getting smaller and smaller?

1. Congenital testicular microstomy

Congenital testicular hypoplasia in men can cause small testicles. Such men develop slower than normal men during puberty and may have feminine characteristics. Precocious puberty can also cause small testicles in men. If a man develops secondary male characteristics before the age of 10, his testicles will be smaller at that time. Then, the development of the testicles will be slower and relatively smaller.

2. Microtesticular disease caused by

In many cases, the testicles of men become smaller and smaller due to diseases. For example, men who have had mumps and orchitis during puberty and men with varicose veins may have smaller testicles. Men with endocrine diseases may also have smaller testicles.

3. Testicular damage caused by trauma or surgery

Testicular damage caused by trauma or accidents, or testicular damage caused by unsuccessful surgery may cause male testicles to become smaller and smaller.

4. Bad living habits

Some men are used to taking baths with overheated water, or like to go to saunas or hot springs, which will interfere with the temperature regulation function in the scrotum and cause problems with the testicles. One of the symptoms is that the testicles are getting smaller and smaller. Living in a bad environment for a long time will also have some impact on the testicles.

No matter what causes the testicles to become smaller, you should go to the hospital for appropriate examination and treatment in time. Generally, after the disease is cured, the testicles can be restored to their original size after some conditioning. Men with small testicles should not worry too much. The size of the testicles cannot indicate sexual ability. As long as there is no problem with the body and sexual function, there is nothing to worry about. It is recommended that men should not wear tight underwear, go to hot springs, saunas, etc., which are not good for the testicles.
