A member asked:
My testicles are completely numb. have had chronic (unresponsive to medical treatment) epididymitis for a year. is this serious? are my balls alive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
overall health: The testicles are sensitive to a man's overall health. If you have had some serious illness recently, like gangrene as mentioned in your profile, then your testicle can certainly be affected. A scrotal us would provide some information.
