What is the normal size of testicles for adult men?

Testicles are important organs in our male body. This reproductive organ is an important reproductive tool. In life, many men will protect their testicles very well and prevent their testicles from any damage. However, the size of men's testicles is also different, just like the length of the penis. Some men are worried about whether there is something wrong with their bodies when they see that their testicles are relatively small. So let's take a look at what size is normal for adult male testicles?

In normal men, the size of the testicles on both sides is not exactly the same. According to statistics, the right testicle is slightly larger than the left testicle. The average length, width and thickness of the testicle is 3.38cm X 2.37cm X 1.78cm for the right side and 3.30cm X 2.27cm X 1.71cm for the left side. Even in the same age group, the size of the testicles varies greatly. However, in adult men, if the volume of the testicles is more than 15ml, their function is normal.

The testicle measurement method is relatively simple, especially the measurement quantum comparison method is easier to do. The specific method is: the testicle volume measurement quantum is in the shape of different volumes, the testosterone oval hard object, number 1-25. When measuring, pull up the testicle to be measured, tighten the scrotal skin, compare the measurement quantum with the testicle one by one, and the volume of the measurement quantum closest to the testicle size is the testicle volume. Knowing the normal size of your testicles is conducive to timely detection of pathological changes. The testicles of normal people are not of the same size on both sides, but the difference is generally not too large. If the size of the testicles on both sides was basically similar in the past, and one side of the testicle suddenly becomes significantly larger in the near future, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. If one side of the testicle is enlarged and accompanied by fever and local pain, it may be epididymitis or orchitis. If the testicle is enlarged without any symptoms, the possibility of testicular tumor should be considered and it should be checked in time without carelessness.

Among normal men, some have different sizes of testicles since childhood, and the difference is sometimes very obvious. This is mostly caused by congenital diseases. For example, congenital unilateral testicular hypoplasia is manifested by a small and soft testicle on one side, like a juvenile testicle, while the testicle on the other side can be compensated and enlarged, larger than that of normal people, so the testicles on both sides are different in size, but this situation is generally rare. In addition, trauma can also cause differences in the size of the testicles on both sides, because trauma causes bleeding and hematoma in the testicles, resulting in testicular blood supply disorders, leading to testicular atrophy, so the testicle on the affected side is smaller than the testicle on the opposite side. The mumps virus can damage the spermatic tubules of the testicles, causing one side of the testicle to shrink. Of course, there are many reasons for the difference in the size of the testicles, but you should be careful not to regard other diseases in the scrotum as the cause of the testicle size. You should distinguish the cause to avoid misdiagnosis. In short, any reason that causes one side of the scrotum to be significantly larger than the other side should be checked in time.

The above is an explanation of the normal size of the testicles of an adult male. If you don’t know the size of your testicles yet, you can test it in time. If the proportions of the testicles are normal, then you don’t have to worry. Men’s testicles are very fragile and a slight touch will cause severe pain. So in life, you must not let your testicles touch any heavy objects to avoid testicular damage.
