Small/shrunk testes: Check out http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/161858.php for difference btwn sign vs symptom. Typically, you (as patient) report symptoms while we (as docs) note signs, although some conditions such as small/shrunk testes can be both. Of note, testicular atrophy is usually painless & insidious. It's also commonly associated w/unmonitored testicular replacement therapy. Go see your family doc
