They are divided in to groups by age wise, weight and measurements of testes (Morphometric) were done and kept in tabular form compared with normal one. Previous literature were also observed and the maximum weight of testes found in our study is 15gm. The minimum weight of testes in our study is 3 mg and 3mm in length width and

The descent of testes and any congenital abnormalities were also observed. Colour of testes and appearance were also observed. The weight and morphometric measurements of testes were found below the normal in this region. However the size and morphometric measurements were dependent on hormonal status and built of individual. But the built and status of individuals are average. The reduction of morphometric measurements were probable due to some other cause.
