Is Testicular Atrophy Reversible?

[CamiMayes]

My husband was diagnosed with low Testosterone levels in 2000.  He started on patches and later injections of supplemental testosterone.  Our doctor never did any other hormone testing and his levels were not checked on a regular basis.  We conceived a child in 2003 and she was born in 2004.  Recently we had fertility tests done as we have not been able to have another child.  It was found that he had azoospermia.  He also has a great degree of testicular atrophy.  We are obviously devastated.  My concern is whether or not this can be reversed and if we will ever again be able to have a child.  Should he stop the testosterone?  The whole situation is extremely confusing and frustrating.  I would be grateful of any help/advice you could give.  Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

In 1981 I had a vasectomy. Since then, I have learned that this can  cause a big drop in T. My doctor tested me and said I am very low, putting me on T injections every three weeks. Nothing was ever said about atrophy, but lately I have noticed a HUGE decrease in testucluar size, just as reported here by others. SInce my baby-making days are long over, I am not concerned about my fertility, nor even for the cosmetics of the situation. But, I am concerned about my overall health effects and long term results. At 73 I'm just not too concerned about my balls. I realize I need to lose some of these pounds, which may have cause much of the low T in the first place. So, my question is: do I need to be doing anything differently? My libido has improved considerablty since starting the injections a year ago. My wife is a bit miffed, saying it doesn't make any difference to her. This is a great site; thanks for all the good input to everyone.

Did the hcg treatment increase the size of your testicles? And what happened after you stopped  hcg treatment? Did the testicle size decrease?

I am 38. I can not remember since when I have testicular atrophy.
The urologists I visited told me there is no cure. I have to live with testicular atrophy. I have also azoospermia. My LH value is 14 mIU/mL. My testicle size is 8 ml. My urologist told me I should have more than 14 ml sized testicles. The urologist told me that my testosteron is at the lower end but in the normal range. As far as I understand I do not have much hope to improve my situation. I did no HCG treatment but I am not sure that HCG treatment is right for me.

Am I right? There is no hope that I can cure my testicular atrophy.
