Hi guys. Im 16 years old and i have this odd feeling that my testicles are shrinking. Maybe im just paranoid, tho. I mean, theres no pain, they just seem to be unusually smaller than i remember. There are no lumps either. Am i just overthinking or is this really a bigdeal?
At your age I would consider highly unlikely that there is anything major going on. Testicles shrink and expand naturally to keep sperm safe and warm. Steroids can cause shrinking of the testes so if you are taking any of those I would quit them. Age is a factor and it is normal for a man's testicles to shrink as he ages. Again considering your age, I would think it is very unlikely. Though not impossible there are a few medical conditions that can cause this, and while I think it is unlikely, if you are worried you may want to see a doctor and get their take on it. One cause I do know is a hormonal imbalance that can have this affect.
Thank you for replying. I dont take any kind of steroids. Does masturbating have this effect?
I really don't think so. I don't know for a fact.
