What happens to the testicle as it enters necrosis?

Dr. Francisco R. Rodriguez answered

Specializes in Urology

Testis: Necrosis means death of the testicle. It eventually shrinks and essentially disappears. If you are concerned about fertility, necrosis of the testicle in the scrotum may lead to production of antibodies that may lead to infertility.
