	Testicular Atrophy
		The primary etiology of testicular atrophy is surgical trauma to the testicular veins of the spermatic cord.
		Given the increased incidence of testicular atrophy after recurrent hernia repair, leaders in the field of hernia repair have suggested that ³...it probably is ill advised to perform simultaneous bilateral indirect inguinal hernia hernioplasty if an indirect sac has been excised, for fear of causing bilateral testicular atrophy.
		Testicular atrophy should be a rare occurrence but is nonetheless more common in recurrent hernia repairs.

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Testicular infection or torsion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Testicular infection or torsion is a group of disorders in which testicular pain is a primary symptom.
		Testicular torsion is a twisting of the spermatic cord, artery and vein, which cuts off the blood supply to the testicle and surrounding structures within the scrotum.
		Testicular torsion is the most common cause of scrotal or testicular pain in boys and non-sexually active adolescents.

	Testicular Examination and Testicular Self-Examination (TSE)
		Testicular examination and testicular self-examination (TSE) are two different methods to detect lumps or abnormalities of the testicles.
		Testicular self-examination (TSE) is done to familiarize a man with the normal size, shape, and weight of his testicles and the area around the scrotum.
		Sudden (acute) pain or swelling in the scrotum that is noticed during the testicular examination or TSE may indicate an infection (epididymitis) or blockage of blood flow to the testicle (testicular torsion), either of which require immediate medical evaluation.

		Testicular atrophy was induced as previously described [10].
		At baseline, both groups with testicular atrophy showed similar serum levels of albumin, cholesterol, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, glucose, total proteins and urea, which were all normal as compared with control rats (Table 1).
		A question arises as to whether the beneficial effects of IGF-I on testicular atrophy are derived from the direct action of IGF-I or these effects are an epiphenomenon secondary to the general improvement induced by IGF-I in cirrhotic animals [1,5-8].

	Testicular atrophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Testicular atrophy is a medical condition in which the male reproductive organs (the testes, which in humans are located in the scrotum) diminish in size and may be accompanied by ceasing to function.
		This is not used to refer to temporary changes such as those brought on by cold.
		Some medications, including anabolic steroids, can cause testicular atrophy which will reverse when the course of treatment ends, provided it is not too long.

	937. Phosalone (Pesticide residues in food: 1997 evaluations Part II Toxicological & Environmental)
		The incidences of unilateral or bilateral testicular atrophy in the survivors to termination were 26% in controls, 24% at the low dose, 40% at the intermediate dose, and 40% at the high dose; these percentages were stated to be within the background range in the laboratory.
		Since testicular atrophy in the rat is commonly an age-related phenomenon, the prevalence of lesions in animals killed at termination is the appropriate variable; an exception would be analysis of the data in an age-to-occurrence fashion.
		There was a statistically significant increase in the prevalence of testicular atrophy, a reduction in testicular weights in animals at both the high and intermediate doses, and a dose-response relationship across all groups for both effects.

	1,2-Dibromoethane (CASRN 106-93-4), IRIS, Environmental Protection Agency
		Testicular atrophy in the latter group was likely to be age related, because it was not seen in 61 week controls and the duration was much longer than for exposed rats.
		Because testicular atrophy occurs with high incidence in aged untreated rats, the lack of testicular atrophy in the vehicle control group at 61 weeks suggests that 1,2-dibromoethane hastens the onset of testicular atrophy.
		However, because the incidence of testicular atrophy was similar at the beginning, middle and end of the study (6/20 at 9-24 wks; 4/10 at 25-39 weeks; 4/9 at 40-44 wks and 4/11 at 45-49 weeks) the dose rate may be more critical to the occurrence of this effect.

	ThirdAge: Conditions InDepth: Testicular Cancer
		Testicular cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in one or both testicles.

		The examiner was to provide an opinion as to the degree of testicular atrophy of the left testis as compared to the right based on measurement of diameters and the clinical findings as to alteration of consistency of the affected left testicle.
		In this particular case, service connection has been established only for left testicular atrophy as a postoperative residual of a left varicocele, and the veteran's claim for special monthly compensation for loss of use of a creative organ may currently be considered only on that basis.
		Since the degree of testicular atrophy of the service-connected left testicle does not meet the requirements for an award of special monthly compensation, special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ is not warranted.

		In another 20%, the testicular enlargement is painful because of bleeding or infarction in the tumor, and acute pain in a patient with a cryptorchid testis suggests torsion of a hidden mass.

	The Reproductive Toxicity of Boric Acid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Testicular boron concentrations remained steady during exposure at the same level as found in blood, and declined to background levels within 72 hr after cessation of exposure.
		These studies also suggest that the potential for recovery from boric acid-induced testicular atrophy should be examined in other species to evaluate the significance of the persistent atrophy seen in the rats.
		The lack of recovery in the atrophic testes, and the persistent foci of atrophy in the "recovered" tissues, may signify either a long-term alteration in the tissue or an inherent inability of rodent testis to recover from atrophy.

		Success in the management of spermatic cord torsion is measured by immediate testicular salvage and incidence of late testicular atrophy, which are, in turn, directly related to the duration and degree of testicular torsion.

		Detection of a suspicious testicular mass constitutes a positive test, and the diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy and histologic examination.

		Patients with a history of cryptorchidism, orchiopexy, or testicular atrophy should be informed of their increased risk for developing testicular cancer and counselled about screening options.

		Decreased serum levels of testosterone and compensatory increased levels of luteininzing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone were detected in all affected males; thus, the gondopituitary hormonal pathway may have responded to abnormally low levels of testosterone in the affected animals.
		Testicular degeneration generally exceeded that observed with nutritional disorders and poisons in domestic species.
		Testicular atrophy in mule deer has been reported elsewhere; however, prevalence has not been as high (incidences have not been as frequent) or occurrence was well confined to a specific geographical area as at the Hanford Site.

		In the event of testicular atrophy caused by mega doses and very long periods of usage, HCG also helps to quickly bring the testes back to their original condition (size).
		Since occasional injections of HCG during steroid intake can avoid a testicular atrophy, many athletes use HCG for two to three weeks in the middle of their steroid treatment.
		Although HCG causes a quick and significant increase of the endogenic plasma- testosterone level, unfortunately it is not a perfect remedy to prevent the loss of strength and mass at the end of a steroid treatment.
