Have Only One Testicle. After Having Sex My Biceps Shrink. Causes Of One Testicle?
Hello Doctor. I am a very active person and I do regular weight training at the gym. I do not take any supplements and I only have one testicle (the other got atrophied). I wish to have good muscle mass and hence I keep my food intake rich of proteins and good carbs. I weight 81 kg, 5'11 in height and bear decent muscle mass. However, after sex my biceps shrink very fast. Is it because I only have one testicle or is there any special diet recommended? Please help.

Hello,
One testis is sufficient to cater to the male hormonal needs of the body therefore atrophy of one testis should not be an issue. Get measurements of your biceps in flexed position before and after sex to be perfectly sure that the shrinkage is occurring. Add good quality proteins to your diet, they help in maintenance of muscles.
