A member asked:
Will a testicle that atrophied from an infection appear like a normal one on an us aside from looking smaller? normal blood flow to it and scarring?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
US: the affected testicle will be small and the US will look for any evidence of changes in the testicle. It is likely you have routine USs done to observe that testicle. They will also assess your normal testicle. All the best.
