Is it normal for the left testicle to be larger than the right?

Normally, the two testicles of male patients are not the same size. However, the size of the two will not differ too much. If a male patient has a more serious enlargement of the left testicle, it may be caused by some testicular diseases. For example, orchitis or a tumor in the testicle. At this time, the patient must go to the hospital for early treatment to eliminate the trouble of the disease. If the treatment is delayed, it may affect the patient's physiological function and the patient's normal reproductive function, and the consequences are very serious.

Normal men have two testicles, one on the left and one on the right side of the scrotum. The testicles are oval and grayish white. The length of an adult testicle is 3.5-4.5 cm, the width is 2-3 cm, the thickness is 1-2 cm, and each testicle weighs 10-15 grams. Generally, the left testicle is about 1 cm lower than the right testicle. Some people have one testicle larger than the other, one higher than the other. If the difference is not big, it is normal. According to statistics, the right side is slightly larger than the left. As long as the size of both sides is within the normal range, it will not affect fertility. Some people have one testicle larger than the other since childhood. One testicle is very small and soft, while the other side has compensatory hyperplasia, and the difference is very obvious. This is congenital unilateral testicular dysplasia. Trauma to one side of the testicle can also cause one testicle to be larger than the other. Trauma causes bleeding and hematoma in the testicle, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the testicle, which gradually atrophies and becomes significantly smaller than the other side. Some people suffer from mumps and orchitis when they are children. The virus destroys the epithelial cells of the seminiferous tubules in the testicle, causing one side of the testicle to atrophy, resulting in one testicle being larger than the other.

For male patients, the size of the testicles is very likely to change. It is easy to cause orchitis and testicular tumors. Generally speaking, the size of male patients' testicles is different. If the difference is not very large, you don't have to worry. However, if the patient has severe testicular enlargement or is accompanied by pain, you must pay attention to go to the hospital for treatment early. Prevent the occurrence of complications. Patients can go to the hospital for some examinations. For example, do a B-ultrasound examination and pay attention to regular semen examination. Or you must pay attention to a reasonable life.
