What is testicular enlargement?

For men, the importance of testicles is self-evident. One of their important tasks is to produce sperm. If there are problems or diseases with the testicles, male fertility will be the first to be affected and directly affected. Therefore, men should not ignore the problems or diseases caused by the testicles. So, what is the disease of enlarged testicles?

1. The testicle is a very important sexual organ for men, which can produce sperm and maintain male sexual function and physiological characteristics. Generally speaking, the size of the two testicles may be slightly different, and the height may not be very different. But generally the difference is not too big. There are many reasons for male patients to have enlarged testicles, which may be caused by orchitis or some tumorous lesions in the testicles. Therefore, when patients have enlarged testicles, they must not be ignored and should be treated as soon as possible.

2. The testicles of a normal person are not equal in size, but the difference is not too big. If the testicles on both sides have always been symmetrical in the past, but now one side is suddenly found to be significantly enlarged, you should pay attention. Testicular enlargement can be seen in testicular tumors, epididymitis, hydrocele of the testicles, testicular hematoma, etc. Most testicular tumors are malignant and often occur in young men. The clinical manifestation is generally that one side of the testicle gradually enlarges without a clear cause, and most of them are not accompanied by pain. A few of them grow faster or are accompanied by tumor bleeding and necrosis, which may cause pain and discomfort. At this time, it is easy to misdiagnose as inflammation. The texture of enlarged testicles is usually hard, heavy, inelastic, and opaque, and pain may not be obvious when touched or squeezed. Epididymitis often has obvious symptoms such as redness, pain, and fever, and there may be a history of urethritis before. Testicular hydrocele develops slowly, and the mass is usually soft and elastic, and can be translucent. Testicular hematoma often has a history of trauma and is more painful. Based on these characteristics, a preliminary judgment can generally be made. In either case, treatment should be carried out in time.

3. Generally speaking, when male patients have enlarged testicles, there may be some diseases in the testicles. For example, the patient has orchitis, or testicular tumors, or some traumatic factors cause testicular hematoma. When patients have enlarged testicles, they must pay attention to early treatment. If the treatment is late, it may cause the patient to have some other diseases. For example, patients with orchitis often have prostatitis or endocrine disorders. In life, patients must pay attention to keeping the testicles clean and pay attention to a reasonable sex life. Avoid trauma.
