Loss of Testicle size

I had a surgery of varicocele ( I am not sure that actually there was a varicocle or not) after the recommendation of an orthpadic surgeon. Orthopedic surgen himself did the surgery.

Before surgery my both testicles were perfectly alrite. but after the surgery the left testicle got hard like a stone and then started shrinking. now its is of a grape size or smaller even.

Can anyone tell me the reason and solution?????

Hi,
   I am afraid, I may not have answer to that question. But I strongly feel that the testes becoming hard and subsequently shrinking in size after the operation is not to be expected. You should have consulted the same doctor when you observed these problems. I have recommended a Urologist as they are specializing in this area.

  Hi,
     Like what you feel, I also feel there is some thing wrong some where, like blood supply to the testes is not going properly.What does your doctor say? Better to consult a urologist immediately and take his advice.
