Brief Answer:
Age related and likely injections

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. At age of 91 testicle size shrinking gradually is a part of age related process and nothing to worry about. The injection you mentioned every two weeks for last 6 months, if hormonal and have testosterones in it can further add to gonadotropic hypogonadism and shrink the testicular size. Visit an endocrinologist and let them have a look.

I hope it helps, take good care of yourself and forget to close the discussion please.
