Underdeveloped Testicles At 18 Posted: 07-17-07 15:37pm
Hi, I thought I make this topic for anyone
who has the same problem as me. Basically,
my left testicle is quite small for the
average 18 year old, whilst my right has
not even developed and cannot even be
seen, unless focused upon extremely.
My doctor said I might need to get an
extra boost of testostorone injected into
my testicle(s) to help them develop. The
injection will consist of hormone(s). My
testostorone level came out to be normal,
but my Dr said the extra boost should help
the development, and the natural level of
my testostorone should help maintain the
development naturally. So I won't be
having injectiones for life, only once or
how many times required.
I told my doctor that my testicle size has
not changed from when I was 13. At this
age I had an ultrasound scan on my
testicles, and the results were normal.
However, does anyone have any same
experience? Or needs help? Please talk
here, I am going through the process, and
shall be able to help once I have been
healed, hopefully.
Also, if the case of underdevelopment of
the testicles, therefore needing an extra
injection to help them grow, can this also
relate to the penis too? As my penis size
has not changed from when I was 13. If
they need a boost, then so does the penis
right?
I was reading another article, this person
had a normal level of testostorone, but
his testicles and penis etc were
underdeveloped and he had semi erections
most of the time only. He took an extra
boost of testostorone despite being
normal, and his size in his
penis/testicles increased, and he began to
have more erections. Can this apply to my
case? (Note: I have never had a full
erection).
If anyone has the same experience or
knowledge, may you please provide support.
I am going for a scan tommoro.

I thought testosterone injections shrunk
the testicles, but I suppose that shows
how little I know. Perhaps it behaves
differently if applied directly in the
area in question. I also have atrophied
testicles, but I doubt we have anything
related, as that part is the least of my
worries.

Steroids shrink testicles, and many
steroids have testosterone in them. But
when used in a different way, Testosterone
could increase the size of the testicles,
since that is the function of testosterone
when it is released in boys who have
reached puberty.

Thnx for the help, but I don't think I
will be giving a source of steroids (it is
different to medical type) but be giving
the medication version or something.
I got my ultrasound done today. My penis
and testicles are ok. The nurse did report
on the fact that my right testicle is very
very small and will report it to my dr.
My dr told me, that if my testicles (the
right testicle in particularly) are ok,
then I may need them injected to help them
grow, give them an extra boost. My normal
level of testosterone in me should help
keep the natural flow (my testosterone
level came out be normal).
Also, my penis and testicle size have not
changed from when I was 13. The testicles
will get treated hopefully and increase
and fully develop. But what about my
penis????????? Is there a solution for
it?
Also, I read on this site, this person was
behind in terms of puberty/maturity
despite being around my age I think. His
testostorone level came out to be normal,
but he took extra testosterone pills I
think and he began to develop. (Note: my
facial is hair is low as well as my arm
pit hair...I have enough pubic hair, but I
am still skinny...not masculine enough
despite having a normal testosterone
level). If I was to be in the same
scenario as this problem, will my penis
size increase???????
I have never had an erection too, but it
is due to my weak muscles, I am getting
treated for that. I should be taking
Ciliasis and my penis should become
normal. I think the pills should help
spark my natural order for my muscles, so
I should only be on these pills for a few
months only (one example I read on this
site of an Italian guy, he never had an
erection, took sure-erect for 3 months,
now he never uses it).
Any ideas or possibilities
please????????????

I'm not sure how much penis size is
actually related to the size of your
testicles. It seems natural, but though I
have small testicles I actually have a
penis well within the normal size range.
The intricacies of the endocrine system
are completely beyond me. Again, I also
was tested as having normal levels of
testosterone, yet I'm riddled with
problems. It seems, then, that a
deficiency of a more obscure hormone or an
excess of another such as estrogen might
be doing this, but I'm only guessing. I
do know, however, (or at least I've been
told) that excessive testosterone
injections cause your body to become
dependent and not produce its own, so go
easy on them.

Personally, testicle size doesn't matter
to me as a woman... if your erect penis is
normal sized, that's all that matters. You
don't use your testicles to have sex now
do you?

No, but it's a sign of a greater problem,
and it's still a pretty serious vanity
issue.

I'm curious, at 18, are you on your own
already or did you have to deal with your
parents? If so, how?
