Yes, ...: The cause for smaller sized testicle are many such as shrunk by certain hormonal treatments, inborn sex hormonal deficit, trauma with high-tension bleeding, testicular torsion, etc. Dead testicle may result from severe torsion or trauma beyond salvage. But the consistency of smaller testicle may vary & is related with its cause. So, have urologist to instruct how to do TSE (testicular self-exam)..

"Dead" testicle: You cannot self-examine for testicle problems other than self-exam in the shower for unusual lumps which you follow up w/a doctor visit. Please see your doc ASAP. If the cord to your testicle is twisted it can block circulation and is a medical emergency. Peace and good health.
