The Board granted service connection for a right testicle disability, finding that the Veteran's current atrophy of the right testicle is related to his in-service symptoms and not due to his service-connected left testicular atrophy with peyronie's disease. The other issues were not addressed as they are part of the remand process.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's right testicular atrophy was not caused by, related to, or aggravated by his service-connected left testicular atrophy and peyronie's disease, but rather due to prostate cancer treatment measures.
