    Glossary Leydig cell hyperplasia

    abnormal increase in testosterone-producing cells in the testes

    Leydig cell hyperplasia is a condition where there is an abnormal increase in the number of Leydig cells, which are found in the testes and are responsible for producing testosterone. This can lead to hormonal imbalances and may be associated with symptoms such as testicular enlargement or changes in secondary sexual characteristics.
