What Causes The Testicles To Shrink?

Hi Doc, I ve been on TRT since 2010 and have noticed my testicles have really shrunk in size. I m considering using HCG to restore my size. The question I have is, once my testes are back to their normal size, do I still need to use HCG? And once they are back to size, should I consider stopping my TRT?

Hi,

Based upon the history provided, in my opinion you have got retractile testis. It is completely normal for testis to go up in case of any stimulation. All you need is reassurance and wear underwear. try to keep the scrotum warm so that it would not happen.

I do not think there is any need of intervention needed. As far as limp penis is concerned, it is not due to this retraction of testis. There is need to look for the cause like diabetes or hypertension. You can get symptomatic relief from Viagra and meet your urologist for proper clinical assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
