Testicular volume measured to be less than 12 mL is a sign of testicular atrophy. [10] In addition, testicular atrophy can be recognized as greater than 50% loss of testicular volume or a post-operative testicle with less than 25% of the volume of the opposite testicle. [ 23 ]
Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes N00-N99 within Chapter XIV: Diseases of the genitourinary system should be included in this category. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Diseases and disorders of the genitourinary system .
This can transiently or permanently disrupt natural testicular function by suppressing pituitary production of LH and FSH, potentially causing testicular atrophy (decreased testicular size ...
A testicular nubbin is the residual tissue of the human testis after a supposed perinatal vascular accident involving the testicular blood supply. The blood supply of the testis twists (called torsion) thereby cutting off the blood supply to the testis and results in testicular atrophy (shrinking).
Hypogonadism means diminished functional activity of the gonads—the testicles or the ovaries—that may result in diminished production of sex hormones.Low androgen (e.g., testosterone) levels are referred to as hypoandrogenism and low estrogen (e.g., estradiol) as hypoestrogenism.
Grade III: Reflux occurs in the distal vessels located at the lower scrotum exclusively during the Valsalva maneuver, and there is no scrotal deformation or testicular atrophy. Grade IV: Spontaneous reverse blood flow is present and intensifies during the Valsalva maneuver, resulting in scrotal deformation and the potential for testicular atrophy.
The symptoms of Leydig cell hypoplasia include pseudohermaphroditism, i.e., feminized, ambiguous, or relatively mildly underdeveloped (e.g., micropenis, severe hypospadias, [6] and/or cryptorchidism [undescended testes]) external genitalia, a female gender identity or gender variance, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism (hypogonadism despite high levels of gonadotropins), delayed, impaired, or ...
Sertoli cell-only syndrome (SCOS), also known as germ cell aplasia, is defined by azoospermia where the testicular seminiferous tubules are lined solely with sertoli cells. [2] Sertoli cells contribute to the formation of the blood-testis barrier and aid in sperm generation.
