Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
Yes, besides vericocele, poor blood supply to testes, thrombosis of testicular veins, testicular injury, chronic testicular infection (orchitis) etc can cause testicular atrophy.
So better to get done ultrasound examination of scrotum to rule out these causes.
Treatment depends on causes.
Infection needs antibiotics.
It is very difficult to predict prognosis and improvement after treatment.
Honestly speaking, there are very less chances of recovery. Once a testicular atrophy, patient remains as it is through out the life. Patient also have low sperm count for whole life.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
