what are the common symptoms of testicular atrophy?

Question

Masturbating while on pct will cause testicular atrophy, is this true?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Here are some ...: The testes of "mature" atrophy - usually by diseases such as infection / inflammation / misuse of testosterone / hypothalamic dysfunction, etc. are most likely painless but smaller and softer than the "normal" one or the usual, but may result in affecting sperm production leading to low sperm count and concentration - infertility & reducing testosterone secretion leading to hypogonadism - ED, low

Answer 3

Atrophy testis: Unfortunately this cannot be reversed. The affected testis will be atrophic and small when compared to the normal side.

Answer 4

Will not enlarge: Should have normal hormone production ; almost normal fertility if atrophy only on one side. Very poor chance of fertility (reproduction) if atrophy is bilateral. Will require testosterone hormone replacement if bilateral. That will be only treatment available other than testicular prosthesis implantation.

Answer 5

Hypogonadism: Depending on your age, you may experience infertility. Symptoms of low testosterone include decreased libido and erectile failure, loss of muscle mass, loss of energy and decreased work performance, and even irritability.

Answer 6

Small/absent testes: Either testes can no longer be felt or have shrunk. Can be result of groin surgery, testis torsion or taking androgenic (male type) steroids. Can result in lack of libido, feeling of generalized weakness, motivation or drive.

Answer 7

Shrinking testes: Can occur after testicular torsion which if untreated can lead to complete atrophy (death) of affected testis. Testes can shrink/atrophy after mumps, anabolic steroid use, radiation or chemotherapy for cancer. Testicular atrophy leads to reduced testosterone and sperm production leading to sterility, loss of libido ; overall reduced strength, energy ; drive, .

Answer 8

Small balls . . .: Testicular atrophy refers to small balls, literally. Question to ask is why? They can shrink from excessive doses of testosterone or other anabolic steroids. But then, aside from small balls, you wouldn't notice anything else since you're taking T/steroids. On the other hand, if testes are small b/c pituitary or hypothalamic issue, then you might notice hypogonadism (low T) & infertility.
