Factors leading to testicular atrophy in men

　　Viral infection Viral infection is the most common cause of testicular atrophy in children and adolescents, especially mumps virus, commonly known as "mumps" disease. When the testicles are attacked by this virus, the spermatogenic tissue in the testicles will be destroyed, the testicles will shrink in size and become soft in texture.

　　Impact injuries to the scrotum or testicles have resulted in scrotal hematoma or testicular laceration. Even if the trauma heals, the testicles will remain in a state of insufficient blood supply for a long time and atrophy.

　　In severe orchitis, the testicles become swollen and painful, which can last for many days. Testicular tissue is destroyed due to bacterial invasion, resulting in testicular tissue atrophy.

　　Effects of Radioactive Materials Anyone who is exposed to radioactive materials for a long time, such as those who have been engaged in X-ray, isotope and other occupations for a long time, will cause testicular atrophy if they are not well protected.

　　endocrine disease The testis is an endocrine organ that mainly produces androgens. Diseases in many of the body's endocrine-directing organs, such as the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, hypothalamus, etc., will interfere with the function of the testicles and cause testicular atrophy.

　　The above are the factors that may lead to testicular atrophy. Experts remind: long-term use of certain toxic drugs, such as arsenic, or repeated use of estrogen drugs that fight androgens, such as acetylphenol, etc., can cause testicular atrophy.
