Why do male testicles grow larger?

As we all know, the male testicles are very important reproductive organs. They are an important place for sperm production, and sperm is the basis of human reproduction. Therefore, if you want a healthy baby to be born, the role and status of the testicles cannot be ignored. However, in life, the testicles may also have some pathological changes. For example, when the testicles become larger, it will affect male fertility. So, why do male testicles become larger?

Experts point out that testicular enlargement can be seen in testicular tumors, epidemiological testicular inflammation, hydrocele, testicular hematoma, etc.

1. Most testicular tumors are malignant and occur in young men. The clinical manifestation is generally that one 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 or necrosis, which may cause pain and discomfort. At this time, it is easy to misdiagnose as inflammation. The enlarged testicle is usually hard, heavy, inelastic, and opaque, and the pain may not be obvious when touched or squeezed.

2. Epididymitis of the testicles often presents with obvious symptoms such as redness, pain, fever, chills, etc., often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and there may be a history of urethritis before. It can cause: 1. Sperm loss and kidney deficiency; 2. Loss of reproductive function; 3. Inducing disease risks, such as varicocele, prostatitis, endocrine diseases, etc., and may also cause male tumors, which may even endanger the patient's life in severe cases; 4. Loss of sexual function.

3. Testicular hydrocele develops slowly, and the mass is usually soft and elastic, and can transmit light. Mild testicular hydrocele may not affect fertility, but severe hydrocele may cause the penis to be hidden in the scrotal skin, affecting normal sexual life. In addition, long-term pressure on the testicles by the fluid will cause poor local blood circulation, leading to testicular dysfunction and affecting fertility. The impact of secondary testicular hydrocele on fertility depends on the condition of the primary disease.

4. Testicular hematoma often has a history of trauma, and the severity of symptoms is related to the degree, type, and comorbidities of the injury. The local pain is severe and can radiate to the lower abdomen, waist, or upper abdomen. In severe cases, it can induce painful shock, also known as testicular shock. Testicular contusion manifests as blunt pain, or accompanied by nausea, vomiting, fever, and other symptoms.

Therefore, male friends must pay attention to their reproductive organs. Once their testicles become larger, it is not normal. It generally indicates that their reproductive organs have become diseased. Therefore, once a male friend's testicles suddenly become larger, he must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, and do not cause irreparable consequences due to his own negligence.
