Medical Conditions - Shrunken Testes

Atrophy of the testes is referred to as testicular atrophy, and several factors, such as aging and infections cause testes to shrink in size due to the loss of specific germ and Leydig cells in testicular atrophy. While Leydig cells create testosterone, germ cells create sperm. Due to the loss of these cells, a person may have a decreased sperm count, lower testosterone levels, or even testicle atrophy.
