A member asked:
In most cases of bacterial orchitis that causes atrophy what cells are destroyed by the infection? are the leydig cells first affected or what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sperm analysis : Most cases of bacterial orchitis don't result in atrophy or infertility when treatment is adequate & timely. If you have concerns, I would recommend getting a sperm analysis. Hope that helps.
