Get checked: If something is changing that quickly, I agree that you need an exam, possible ultrasound. Atrophy doesn't "just happen" without some factor, such as lack of blood flow (including from "torsion"), a tumor, history of injury or trauma. It could take weeks or months after trauma, or could be very quick with a tumor.

About a month: 'm assuming your testicular trauma side is the side of atrophy. When you saw the doctor 2 wks ago, IF they examined your testicles and you pointed out the difference from side to side, I would expect they noticed. Some doctors don't say everything they notice. How did you get referred to the Urologist? If from your Dr., then they did notice and did the right thing --> to Urologist. Good Luck!

I'm having a severe anxiety attack because I'm having on and off pain in my left testicle and I keep thinking I have testicular torsion. I spoke to a doctor on here using the live chat thing but all he said was see a urologist, nothing else.
Went to the urologist for testicular atrophy and Ed. He did note they were small for my age. Got my T levels checked and were normal. They were at the 400 range. Is that still low to cause Ed. He said normal range is 300-1000?
Are there any other doctors besides urologists I can go to about testicular abnormalities/pain/discomfort?
Saw the urologist finally. During exam he said I had a double varicocele which is causing the testicular atrophy. It could also be causing the low libido and ed. Would surgical correction of the varicose veins in the testicle reverse the atrophy ?
