How big are normal male testicles?

In addition to the length of the penis, many men are also very concerned about the size of their testicles. Many people don't know whether it is better to have big or small testicles, and how big are normal male testicles? In fact, most men's testicles are of normal size. What needs more attention is the diseases of male testicles. For a reproductive organ, once it is sick, the impact must be huge and very serious.

1. What is the normal size of testicles for adult men?

In normal men, the size of the testicles on both sides is not exactly the same. According to statistics, the right testicle is slightly larger than the left testicle. The average length, width and thickness of the testicle is 3.38cm X 2.37cm X 1.78cm for the right side and 3.30cm X 2.37cm X 1.78cm for the left side.

2.27cm X 1.71cm. Even in the same age group, the size of the testicles varies greatly. Adult male testicles with a volume of more than 15ml are considered normal. If the testicle volume of an adult is less than 10ml, it is considered microtestis, and if it is greater than 25ml, it is considered macrotestis, both of which are abnormal.

2. What diseases can cause men's testicles?

1. Orchitis: It is mostly caused by direct spread of epididymitis to the testicles and is caused by bacteria. Acute orchitis in children is usually caused by the mumps virus.

2. Epididymitis: Epididymitis is mostly caused by bacterial infection of the urinary tract that has not healed, causing the bacteria to enter the epididymis through the lumen of the vas deferens. It often occurs with posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc. The site can be unilateral or bilateral, and the onset time can be acute or slow.

3. Varicose vein: Varicose vein morbidity accounts for 10% of the male population aged 30-40 years. 90% of it occurs on the left side, due to blood congestion in the spermatic vein, which causes the venous plexus to dilate, bend and lengthen. Varicose vein varicocele can also be caused by kidney disease.

3. Methods for measuring testicular volume

When measuring the volume of the testicle, you should use your thumb and middle finger to squeeze the testicle under the scrotal skin to clearly expose the volume outline of the testicle, and then compare and measure after excluding the epididymis. When measuring the volume of the testicle, you can use a caliper to measure the longitudinal axis, transverse axis and thickness of the testicle, and then calculate the volume of the testicle.
