One side of the boy's testicle is larger than the other side

Some children have testicles with different sizes on both sides. This is normal and common. Almost every child between 1 and 15 years old is like this. The size of the upper and lower parts is not the same, just like our left and right hands. One side is bigger and the other side is smaller. If the difference between the two sides is not big, there is no need to deal with it. But if the difference between the two sides is big, then parents will undoubtedly be more worried about this situation. The biggest worry is that it will affect future fertility. If there are similar problems, then it is recommended that parents take their children to a pediatrician for examination to confirm the cause of the disease, and at the same time, it is also for their own peace of mind.

In fact, there are significant individual differences in the size of boys' testicles. However, if the difference is too large, it may be a psychological factor, which is generally affected by the following three factors:

1. Hydrocele. Hydrocele is also common in newborns, but it can usually be absorbed independently within 1 year old. This condition does not require surgical treatment. However, if it is not absorbed when the baby grows up, but it does not affect daily life and work, it does not actually require surgical treatment. However, if the hydrocele is large and causes related symptoms that affect normal daily life, surgical removal is required.

2. Inguinal oblique hernia. Inguinal oblique hernia will cause impact pain when the baby coughs. The translucency test shows negative information and no frequency. If the baby lies flat and does not cry, the mass can be retracted into the abdomen and the scrotum can recover. In this case, surgery is generally not required in the early stage. It depends on the condition when the baby grows up. If the mass is embedded in the scrotum and cannot be retracted into the abdomen, emergency surgery is required to avoid the occurrence of symptoms such as intestinal necrosis.

3. Tumors in the male testicles. Male testicular tumors are relatively rare. Their main symptoms are solid and hard texture. When they are pushed hard, there will be a feeling of oppression. The translucency test shows negative information. If this is the case, it should be taken seriously and further examination should be done at the hospital outpatient clinic.

From the above detailed introduction, we can see that under normal circumstances, whether it is a child or an adult, it is possible that one side of the testicle is larger than the other. As long as it is not psychologically distorted, it is all normal and there is no need to worry too much. If you still have concerns about these aspects, you can go to the hospital to consult a doctor or do a detailed examination, just in case, and at the same time, you can also put your mind at ease. Finally, I wish you all good health!
