Should I Be Concerned About Reduced Right Testicle?

Dear Doc
I am a 60 year old male. My right testicle has reduced in size over the last 2 years dramatically by 2 third the size of the right. I have had no abnormalities or any discomfort. They both feel fine and spongy.I have normal erections and a good flow of seamen .No problems during sex. Why is it so ? Jeff

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Some testicular atrophy is common in the older age.

But this should be common in both the testicles.

As you are mentioning it is seen only in the right testicles. It sounds some what abnormal.

I advice you to do physical examination of the testicles along with ultrasound and if necessary biopsy after the USG examination.

Many a tines shrinking in the scrotum can be because of the malignancy underlying this above effort will guide us regarding the cause of swellings and so you can act like that.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
