A member asked:
If a testicle atrophies from infection can that testicle still produce the same amount of testosterone even if atrophy was half the size of it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can: but the levels will probably be lower. A lot depends upon whether the other testicle was affected or not. Your doctor can check testosterone levels and potential fertility with simple tests.
