What is testicular hypoplasia?

Testicular hypoplasia, also called testicular infantilism, is a congenital disorder that occurs during the development of the embryo. This pathology is characterized by an incorrect formation of the testicles, which is why they are smaller than normal.

This condition in men can cause sterility due to a testicular problem. In most cases there is less production of semen and, therefore, there will be less quantity of sperm in the ejaculate.
