Heterogeneous Echotexture Testicle

Am thinking back on how i started with low t.

I had testicles pain. Urologist ordered ultrasound and found a testicle that had heterogeneous echotexture. They repeated ultrasound a few times in a year to rule out any tumor growth.

I remember the 2nd time radiologist put in report to check for orchitis. So Dr gave me antibiotics.

Any experience with this? Am thinking I was actually primary hypogonadism not secondary. It appears that a heterogeneous testicle can mean it may not be working well. Though they said blood flow normal.

As much i like to answer your enquiry brother, i have no idea what a heterogeneous testicle is? don’t even know what heterogeneous means.

“All that this means is that the ultrasound appearance of the is not totally uniform”

Not sure what this leans towards charlie.

Thanks for your interest. I guess if you don’t know what it is that’s a good thing.

Well it sparked my interest because it sounded similar to “echogenic kidneys” which was a term I learned before my youngest was born. They didnt know what it meant just that it meant “something”. In the end it meant a non-life threatening kidney condition thank goodness.

Testicles suppose to be homogeneous. So one of my testes is not Smooth. If u look at ultra sound u can see one is smooth other looks like all lines on it. Almost like a shattered look. But u can’t tell if you feel them.
