What Causes Shrinking Of The Testicles?

Why do my boyfriends balls seem to have shriveled up, almost like they are dehydrated, and the skin is very tough, leathery feeling. I have only noticed this yesterday. They were not like this 3 months ago. We had not had sex for that long, as I was out of the country for work.

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your boyfriend.

As per your history it seems to be the concern reduced testicles but within the span of three months I don't think it will reduce so much to be recognized.

There is a chance that you may have find it after cold temperatures because the scrotum is sensitive to temperature and at low temperature it looks like shrunken and the skin around seems to be thickened a lot and tough to hold. If there is increase in temperature you will find it normal.

Hope the answer to your query and visit us back if you feel any further questions to be answered.

Regards
Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray.
