A member asked:
I have one testicle due to torsion. will the remaining testicle shrink over time as i age? am so scared will everything be the same when it does shrink or not?

After the loss of a testicle, the remaining testicle increases production of sperm and semen. Due to this it does not shrink, but typically gets larger. Although men with one testicle have a slightly decreased fertility rate, it is not typically a problem as long as the remaining testicle remains healthy. Testosterone production in the remaining testicle will also increase.
