Testicular Issues but Normal Hormone Results?

Hi everyone,

I've been having evergrowing concerns that my right testicle has been getting smaller ever since an episode of epididymitis caused atrophy in the left side.

I get occasional pain down there, and the scrotum feels a lot lighter than it used to be for some reason and things just feel smaller in general.

They right side is still at 25ml on an Orchidometer which is signalling that ti is a normal sized Male Adult Testcle, and the left side is just a bit smaller, and I still get erections in the morning and I'm able to ejaculate etc...

I went and had some hormone tests done, and these are the results - I was wondering if they are normal by any chance? I'm 23 years old, male obviously, 5.3 feet tall and I am a bit overwieght at around 12 stones.

Serum LH level 4.20 iu/L
Serum follicle stimulating hormone level 5.13 iu/L
Serum oestradiol level 85 pmol/L
Serum prolactin level 354 mu/L
Serum testosterone level 23 nmol/L

Can anyone tell me if these levels seem ok for someone my age? Do they seem normal to you or are there any alarm bells ringing saying there could be an issue which could be linked to the issues I seem to be having?

Thanks!
