Sensitive testicles after mumps

When I was 17 I had mumps and since that time my testicles have been very sensitive. When I had mumps they increased in size by 3 times after the mumps were gone my testicles seemed to have shrunk a little bit. I have not noticed any other abnormalities and I am just trying to find out if this is normal or not.

I had developed orchitis when I had mumps. It is also viral infection just like the mumps. I was 18 and only one of my testicles was inflamed. It also shrunk but went back to normal soon after.
My told me that there could be some impairment to the sperm production but I shouldn’t worry because only one of the testicles was infected, so the production in another stays normal, which means I will have no problem fathering.
Did you also have orchitis?
As for the sensitivity…..my testicles have always been sensitive and any force (or similar) makes me feel uncomfortable.
Have you experienced this sensitivity right after the mumps had gone?

HI my boyfriend had mumps and then orchitis, this started arounf OCtober last year and then only recently has been discharged from hospital. He does say that his testicle is very sore though and keeps complaining of the pain, does anyone else have this? Doctors have just told him to take pain killers. he also was told that the infected testicle is now not working properly, but the other one should still produce ok.

I had the mumps as a young adult and also have experienced painful testicles since then. In my 40s I was diagnosed with hypogonadism and this was caused (My Doctor suspects) by the mumps infection. I can't say that sterility resulted from the mumps but my wife and I have had a lot of unprotected sex and we never got pregnant.

I have been though similar things, when I was 19 I had bilateral Chronic orchitis which was very serious.
My testicles had swollen to the size of grapefruits.
They are smaller now as well as my penius.
It has been very hard going through this I just turned 24 and it has been a real pain.
I still plan on geting implants myself and going on HRT after as well due to this infection.
It is very hard sometimes how some Physicians do not care and say your too young to have anything wrong with you.
It has been a real pain with the medical system, just because your young does not say nothing is wrong with you.
I have been to good Physicians as well as bad, CNP's FNP'S MD's it has been hard.
Hope to find a good one again since my move.
I have had one child though before this issue.
