What happens to the testicle as it enters necrosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
