A member asked:
Does temporary testicular atrophy exist? some websites say it does, some say it doesn't? for example from a bacteria? can it ever be temporary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why do you: ask this question? Testicular atrophy is not common, and usually permanent because it involves death of cells. Check w/your doctor. Make sure your problems aren't due to taking anabolics or opiates.
