Hmm. And what "debuffs" (for a lack of a better term, lol) can a male experience from this side effect?

Other than the psychological trauma of having smaller balls, there isn't much in terms of permanent damage. Men on fitness forums claim their testosterone permanently crashes, but this demographic tends towards hypochondria and body dysmorphia. Although this particular side effect can be prevented with HCG injections, this would restore fertility.
