Different testicle sizes

Testicles are important male reproductive organs and are of great significance to men. Many men will find that their testicles are of different sizes. In fact, it is normal for one testicle to be larger than the other. Generally, the right testicle is larger than the left testicle. However, there are some other diseases that can cause different sizes of male testicles. Below, we will introduce in detail the reasons for different sizes of male testicles and how to deal with them.

1. Is it normal for the testicles on both sides to be different sizes?

The testicles of normal people are not exactly the same, and the right testicle is slightly larger than the left. It is generally believed that an adult with a testicle volume less than 12 ml is called testicular dysplasia. This is caused by childhood obesity, cryptorchidism, varicocele, or parotitis with orchitis, which will lead to infertility, erectile dysfunction, and uncoordinated sex life in adulthood. If you want to check whether you have testicular dysplasia, you can go to the hospital to test the semen to see the number and vitality of sperm in the semen; or measure the content of the sex hormone testosterone in the blood; check whether the sex chromosomes and reproductive organs are abnormally developed, etc.

2. Why are the testicles on both sides different in size?

1. Some men have congenital testicular defects. The two sides of the testicles are different in size since childhood, and the difference is also quite obvious. The manifestation is that one side of the testicle is very small and soft in texture, like a baby's testicle, while the other side of the testicle may be compensatory and enlarged, larger than that of normal people. Therefore, the two sides of the testicle are different in size, but this situation is generally rare.

2. If one side of the testicle is enlarged and accompanied by fever and local pain, it may be epididymitis or orchitis.

3. In daily life, when male friends find that their testicles have suddenly enlarged, they should pay great attention to it. If the enlarged testicles are not accompanied by symptoms, the possibility of testicular disease should be considered. They should go to a regular professional andrology hospital for a corresponding examination as soon as possible, so as to get rid of the disease troubles as soon as possible.

4. Generally, trauma can also cause the testicles on both sides to be of different sizes. The blood swelling and bleeding in the testicles caused by trauma can cause testicular blood supply disorders, leading to testicular atrophy, so the testicle on the affected side is smaller than the opposite side.

3. What should I do if the testicles on both sides are different sizes?

There are many reasons for the difference in testicle size, but you should be careful not to regard other diseases in the scrotum as the cause of the testicle size. You should distinguish the cause to avoid misdiagnosis. In short, if one side of the scrotum is significantly larger than the other side due to any reason, you should check it out in time. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for urology examination and treatment.
