What is testicular microlithiasis?

Testicular microlithiasis is usually a manifestation of calcifications, which means that calcifications are diffusely dispersed in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. The diameter is usually less than 3mm and the number is not large.

Testicular microlithiasis is a rare disease in daily life. Patients do not show obvious clinical symptoms. They are usually discovered during B-ultrasound examinations for other diseases. Clinically, testicular microlithiasis may be related to testicular tumors, orchitis, testicular trauma, testicular torsion and other diseases. However, patients do not need to worry too much, as malignant changes usually do not occur.

Testicular microlithiasis may affect sperm quality. If the sperm quality is relatively good and the patient has no obvious symptoms, no special treatment is needed. He can go to a regular medical institution for regular review.
