Hereditary issues

Ok as we all know I was born with testicular problems...Well come to find out my brother has a hydrocell{Huge swelling} in one of his testicales, and my father was just informed that he has unusually low testosterone for his age {60} and it is more than likely primarly responsible for his male osteoporis. I convinced him to get on HRT.

So this is an obvious hereditary fator because all of us have issues...My question here is what could be the root of all of this ???

I'd Say, You Have Been Cross Bred With A Post Op Lance Armstrong, Which Would Explain The One Ball = Less Test Output Theory. ;)

No, Seriously, It Could Be A Possible Genetic Factor Yes, Or It Could Have Been An Environmental Stimulus.

Everything From Pollution To Microwaving Things In Plastic Containers (which Contains Xenoestrogens) Has Dramatic Effects On Testosterone Levels And If Introduced During A Critical Phase Of Development It Could Impact Your Levels As An Adult.


More Than Likely Its Genetic Though, In Which Case There May Be Some Underlying Issue, With Low Ar Receptor Count Or Some Issue With Your Hpta Genetically.

Yeah but I was born with testicular problems {Cryptorchidism} and now with my brother and father having issues I know this can not be a coincedense.

Dr. is my brothers hydrocell something for him to worry about ??? I can't get his stupid ass to go to a Dr. and he has had it for years.

For you it is definitely ALL genetics. My question for you is how you know its a hydrocele? He must have had a doctor look at it at some point. Really easy to confirm if it is a worrisome mass or just a benign lesion like a hydrocele. If it is growing then there is no question it needs to be checked. Also, if it hasn't been checked in the last two years then it should be anyway. Thank your parents for all your troubles but I have seen much worse...

Well he told me it has not gottne any bigger...I just assumed it was a hydrocele.

He is kinda embarrassed I think about going to the Dr. about it.

Oh I'm sure...Any idea what causes cryptorchidism ??? I know that there is an obvious genetic disorder but is there anything else that could have caused this ???

There are several disorders associated w/ cryptorchidism but most involve serious body-wide conditions and problems. I am talking about obvious problems like mental and physical deformaties. Most commonly it is an isolated finding much like your case I would conclude.
