What causes testicular enlargement?

The testicle is a very important sexual organ for men, which can produce sperm. It also maintains male sexual function and male physiological characteristics. Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, 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 much. 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 ignore it and go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to prevent affecting the patient's normal life.

Normal testicles are not equal in size, but the difference is not that big. If the two testicles have always been symmetrical, but one side suddenly becomes significantly larger, you should pay attention.

Testicular enlargement can be seen in testicular tumors, epididymitis, hydrocele, hematoma, etc. Testicular tumors are mostly malignant and occur frequently in young men. The clinical manifestation is generally that one testicle gradually enlarges without clear causes, and most of them are not accompanied by pain. A few of them grow rapidly 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 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.

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.
