The testicles are the organs that produce sperm and control the activities of the reproductive system. If one day you discover that one testicle is atrophied or smaller than the other, you will certainly be very worried. The most concerning issue is "Can one testicle produce children?".
According to Master, Doctor Hoang Tho - Vinmec Times City, the symptoms of testicular atrophy are easy to recognize:
- Self-touch and detect that the testicle atrophy is smaller than the other side;
- The size of the testicle is smaller than that of a normal person (average size of the testicle is 4-5cm, weight is about 20g).
- The testicles are not tense.
Atrophied testicles will significantly affect the couple's married life:
- The size of the testicles is not as normal;
- Flaccid tone;
- Decreased sperm quality;
- Decreased testosterone quality;
- Decreased libido;
- Premature ejaculation.
- Affects fertility and causes infertility.
Regarding the question "Can one testicle produce children?", according to Master, Doctor Hoang Tho, if one testicle atrophy, the other side is still active and produces sperm, so the ability to produce children is still possible. However, the ability to produce sperm will be reduced.
One atrophied testicle is mainly caused by genetic, congenital or infectious diseases. Testicular atrophy is very difficult to treat, so as soon as the disease is detected, people need to quickly go to the hospital to be examined and treated promptly by a specialist.
