A member asked:

Does getting hurt (by footballs etc) on the testicles as a kid (6-12) affect their development (size and sperm volume) or does it heal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most heal: The testis are resilient and you are blessed with two.(only need one)trauma can produce injury but most is tolerated and does not effect later performance. Significant injury would result in shrinkage /atrophy which would be noticeable on self exam by comparing one to the other.
