Hello
Thanks for query.
You have developed atrophy of the one of your testicles due to viral infection .
(Chicken Pox).

It is one of the known complication of viral infection to get atrophy of testicle.

Since you do have other testicle of normal size you should not have an problem in having normal sexual life and impregnate your wife .There are 4% of males of population having only one testis from birth and having normal life.

Please get Ultrasound Scanning of the scrotum and semen analysis done to allay your anxiety.
