A member asked:
My testicles have shrunk a bit. i am implying in terms of length and width not retraction. can cold weather cause this? i have chronic epididymitis.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Testis size: Cold weather can cause retraction of the testicles but no shrinkage. Epididymitis can lead to testicular atrophy and decrease in size.

Can pain from epididymitis switch sides? A few days ago the right testicle experienced some discomfort, then for about one day both, and now for the past two days only the left one. There is no swelling or redness. Possible other causes for the pain?
