Testicular Shrinkage

[yzarc123]

17 year old here.
Over the past few months my left testicle has started to shrink and it pretty small now.
Recently noticed that the right is shrinking also.
I dont do much exercise and dont have the best diet either.
Any help as to why this might have happened and how I can get them to normal size again would be appreciated.

It could b a testosterone deficiency or can b
u over masturbating. One important thing is
do u have any pain? I would go c a doctor to
get it checked and ease ur mind.

If you've been masturbating more than usual then that might make them a little bit smaller, but the way you're describing it you should talk to your parents about it

Testicular atrophy is a medical term for what basically amounts to shrinking or shriveling testicles. Unusually small testicles aren’t usually included; the term is typically reserved for organs that start out healthy, then begin to wither and shrink without warning. A number of different things can cause this sort of atrophy, though hormonal imbalances and drug use are two of the most common. Old age, injury, and certain diseases may also be to blame. Men with this condition, however caused, are likely to experience a decreased sex drive and possibly also infertility. A lot depends on the extent of the damage as well as what caused it. Human testicles are made up primarily of two different cell types. Germ cells are responsible for producing sperm, while Leydig cells produce the male sex hormone testosterone. Men in good health typically produce both cell types in roughly equal amounts, and as a result their testes tend to be full, round, and firm. During atrophy, one or both of these cell types tend to die off. This causes a range of internal changes including fluctuation in fluid levels and semen chemistry, but is perhaps most noticeable on the outside: men with this condition tend to have visibly shrunken organs that are soft and loose to the touch. Treating this sort of atrophy is usually more about identifying and curing the underlying condition than it is about addressing the shrinkage directly, as in most cases the two go hand in hand. Figuring out what’s going on can often be somewhat challenging, though. Healthcare providers usually start by looking at the patient’s lifestyle and health history, then run a series of tests to rule out more serious conditions.

When to Get Help
Men who notice sudden or dramatic changes in their testes should usually seek medical attention, particularly if things seem to be getting worse. Problems with the sex organs usually indicate that something bigger is going wrong somewhere else, and the sooner it is identified the more likely it is to be cured.

i have small testicles because of a hormone imbalance. masturbating has no effect on your testicle size
