See below: The chronic drinking lowers testosterone levels & thus causes testes to shrink. Suggest aa & detox program to get off alcohol. Damage may be permanent, but perhaps testosterone replacement can help. Ask urologist/endocrinologist. But must stop drinking to prevent further damage & side effects.
