A gesture to check the health of the testicles! Men who know this will benefit

The testicles are recognized by medical experts as "the smartest organ in a man's body." They sense cold and heat. The testicles are located inside the body. When the weather is hot, they will adjust and relax to speed up heat dissipation; when the weather is cold, they will shrink and pull up to preserve heat and reduce heat dissipation. They have a strong sense of self-protection. When humans are in a state of tension, the testicles will quickly pull up and be tightly wrapped. They are active molecules in the body. They move with the movement of the body. If you observe carefully, you will find that the testicles will twist in the middle. Although the testicles are powerful, many men know nothing about them and are unaware of the signs of disease. From a medical point of view, testicles are standard for healthy men.

Sperm production

The two testicles can produce 70 to 150 million sperm every day.

Produces male hormones

Male hormone is an important substance for maintaining male characteristics. It can stimulate the growth, development and maturation of the epididymis, prostate and other organs. It can also maintain male secondary sexual characteristics, such as strong bones, developed muscles, deep and rich voice, prominent Adam's apple, and long beard.

Men's experts recommend a simple and easy method to help you check its health at home: make an "OK" sign with your index finger and thumb.

Testicle size

You can use the OK hand gesture to cover the testicles. If it is very loose or cannot be inserted at all, it means that the size of the testicles is abnormal. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Testicular volume

Generally speaking, the testicular volume of Chinese adult men is about 15-23 ml, and the size difference between the two testicles does not exceed 2 ml. Less than 12 ml indicates testicular dysplasia or atrophy.

If the testicle size is abnormally enlarged, it may be a spermatocele or a tumor, which may also affect testicular function.

Testicular location

If the position is too high, in the groin or even in the abdomen, testicular function will be affected.

Testicular texture

Normal testicles are hard and somewhat elastic. Hard and inelastic, or too soft, indicates that the internal tissue may be damaged.

It is recommended that men check their penis once a month to check its size, whether it is smooth, whether there are lumps, and whether there is tenderness. If there are any abnormalities, you should be alert and consult a regular hospital and male doctor as soon as possible.

Mr. Life lists several situations that require medical treatment.

Condition 1: The entire area is red, swollen, hot and painful, sensitive to touch, and has burning pain when urinating.

It could be epididymitis.

Case 2: Similar to epididymitis, but the redness and heat of the testicles are not so obvious and intense. You can clearly see that one or both testicles are enlarged and painful when pressed.

It could be orchitis.

Situation 3: You feel a dull pain, like a small bag of worms has burrowed into your penis. When you stand, you can see or feel the varicose veins in the spermatic cord. If you inflate your belly and increase the abdominal pressure, you can see that the varicose veins are getting worse. In more serious cases, there will be bloating pain.

It could be varicocele.

Case 4: Although there will be no pain, the swelling is like a ball growing above your testicles and can be felt separately.

It could be a spermatocele.
