Done Testicular Torsion Surgery, Testicles Have Gone Down In Size. On Light Exercise. When Can I Start Back Exercising?
hi i just had testicular torsion surgery about a week and a half ago and my testicles have gone down in size considerably since the surgery i usually work out a fair bit and having to cut back to doing no exercise makes me feel horrible i only do body weight movements such as, Pull ups, Chin ups, Push ups and dips how long do you think it will be till i can start back exercising again
Hi It does not sound like that the size of testicle gone down due to exercises. Sometimes during torsion if the torsion lasts longer around 6 hrs, the vascular supply to testicle is compromised. It causes dead testicle and fixing the torsion after that point does not help. The size of testicle shrinks gradually. I would suggest you get it checked by color doppler of testicle to confirm that whether is there any blood supply left or not. Thanks
