Does a change in my testicleTesticle lump Testicle pain Testicle ultrasound shape to more of a flattened shape indicate anything, ie: could it have anything to do with ED? Note: my free testosterone level was 69 at last check.
What was the normal range for your testosterone test? The normal range for the testosterone levels is reported as 350- 1200ng/dl. However laboratories have reference ranges for what is normal, there is standard for what levels are normal. Hence it is important to know the normal range for your lab.
I would suggest that you consult a urologist who can do a complete evaluation and order tests such as testicular ultrasound to arrive at a diagnosis.
Take care,
Flattened testicles need to be examined before a diagnosis can be made. Usually a decrease in the size of the testicles can indicate atrophy which can be due to infections (mumps), hormonal disorders, genetic causes, trauma etc. Low testosterone can lead to ED although it is rare cause. It is usually a contributing cause of ED along with other underlying disorder.
