I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.
Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
?
Testicular Atrophy of the testes, post
hernia repair.
USG Of the Operation site and of the testes would confirm this diagnosis.
Possibility of oversight of the accompanying
Varicocele might be the reason, which is causing this Atrophy of the Testes
My Impression-.
I hope and presume from the submitted facts of your query, that your query about the regressing size of the testes - is related to the side of the hernai repair in 2011 feb.
Possibility of the damage to the testicular arterial supply during hernia operation / or compression of the testicular artery and veins post surgery from
fibrosis of the part, needs to be assessed from a Surgeon'
second opinion after getting the Color doppler study of the
Inguinal canal and of the spermatic side.
Remedy-
Would depend on the cause of this atrophy as discussed above.
The attending surgeon would assess these causes and would resolve this issue by planning needful treatment in your case.
In case the other side of the testes is getting reduced in size,Fresh assessment of its causes-the most common of which would be Varicocele of the
Spermatic cord of the testes of the other side of the hernia operation side.
Hope this would help you to reduce worry with your problem.
