Presentation
A series of ten cases of testicular atrophy occurring after hernia repair in nine patients is presented. Identifiable risk factors were present in eight instances. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Will sperm count decrease testicular atrophy is present? Testicular atrophy is when shrinkage in the testicles is present. When this occurs, individuals may have issues with the sperm count being low or even missing altogether. [justanswer.com]
Included in the series were 25 patients who had not received prior radiation but presented with advanced (Stage D2) disease and had orchiectomy as primary therapy. [ahcmedia.com]
Entire Body System
- Swelling
Indeed, if Danniell had found that the over-expression of a certain gene correlated as strongly with survival as did the presence of prominent testicular atrophy, the paper might have elicited a swell of excitement. [ahcmedia.com]
Possible swelling and pain of the scrotum will disappear after a few weeks. [cirse.org]
Fever, headache, loss of appetite, typically followed by painful swelling of one or both parotid glands. [alpfmedical.info]
The virus may either directly damage the seminiferous tubules or indirectly cause ischemic damage as the intense swelling leads to compression against the tough tunica albuginea. After recovery, the testicle may return to normal or may atrophy. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Dissection of the testicular vessels and/or postoperative swelling and inflammation can result in ischemic injury and testicular atrophy. [aafp.org]
- Virilization
Long-term hCG treatment resulted in testicular enlargement, normal virilization, and spermatogenesis. [78stepshealth.us]
Nutritional Ergogenic Agents No benefits demonstrated may cause testosterone production to decline and shrinking of the testicles may cause light-headedness, aggression, nausea, vomiting, headaches, depression, lethargy, rashes, acne, and virilization [alpfmedical.info]
Patients may achieve normal virilization and adult phenotype through the administration of exogenous testosterone, but they are infertile. [emedicine.medscape.com]
- Male Hypogonadism
Male hypogonadism occurs when a man's testicles cannot produce adequate levels of testosterone. According to Northwestern Memorial Hospital urologist, Dr. [livestrong.com]
Hypogonadism Can Result From Defects at Several Levels Last Updated on Sun, 02 Sep 2018 | Skeletal Muscle | Male hypogonadism may result from defects in spermato-genesis, steroidogenesis, or both. [78stepshealth.us]
- Lymphedema
Features include a webbed neck, short stature, low-set ears, ptosis, shield-like chest, lymphedema of hands and feet, cardiovascular abnormalities, and cubitus valgus. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Gastrointestinal

Treatment
The RR in men who were treated for cryptorchidism increased with age at treatment. This effect may be due wholly or in part to increased treatment of boys with testes that would have descended spontaneously if they had not been treated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
If treatment keeps the testicles enlarged, there may be a chance the treatment is working and not permanent. Some men may need to have testicular implants in order to help treat this condition. [justanswer.com]
A few treatment options include treatment with human chorionic gonadotropin and cessation of testosterone treatment. [medhelp.org]
Prognosis
Thus, MAT characteristics may be predicted in prepubertal cryptorchid patients, allowing a fertility prognosis. The pathogenesis of these lesions, and their possible inclusion into the spectrum of the testicular dysgenesis syndrome, are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Danniell concludes that the demonstration of testicular atrophy at the time of therapeutic orchiectomy for prostate cancer is associated with poor post-orchiectomy prognosis. [ahcmedia.com]
Etiology
Apart from the postsurgical etiology, ischemic orchitis and subsequent testicular atrophy may occur secondary to compression of the testicular vessels by chronically incarcerated hernias. [clinicsandpractice.org]

Prevention
You can prevent that easily. And how can you prevent testicular atrophy and testicular sensitivity from developing while you are on a steroid cycle? The answer is simple, you can avoid it by stacking HCG to your steroid cycle. [whatsteroids.com]
