Why is my left testicle particularly large?

Normally, the right testicle of a male friend is slightly larger. However, in some cases, a male friend finds that his left testicle is suddenly much larger than the right testicle. This makes many male friends very worried and ask what is going on. So what is the reason for the left testicle to be particularly large? Let's take a look. I hope that through the editor's introduction, everyone can understand it.

Men's specialists say that the left testicle is mostly swollen due to inflammatory changes in the testicle, and it may also be due to the scrotum. The possible causes of testicular enlargement are as follows:

1. Orchitis: There are many causes of orchitis. For example, patients with mumps may suffer from orchitis, testicular pain and swelling. Gonorrhea is the sexually transmitted disease with the highest incidence rate. In severe cases, it can cause orchitis, testicular pain and swelling.

2. Testicular torsion: Testicular torsion is one of the common acute diseases in the scrotum. It can occur in newborns to 70-year-olds, and 65% occur in 12-19 years old. Generally, there is vigorous activity a few hours before the onset of the disease, or the testicles have been subjected to external force. Sudden severe testicular pain during sleep or quiet time is the first symptom of this disease and one of its main diagnostic bases. Some patients are accompanied by nausea and vomiting, scrotal swelling, and obvious tenderness. For patients who suspect or cannot rule out testicular torsion, surgical exploration and reduction and fixation should be performed as soon as possible to save the testicles and protect spermatogenesis. It is generally believed that the testicular rescue rate can reach 80% for those who treat testicular torsion within 6 hours, but only 20% for those who treat it after 24 hours. Even if the testicle can be preserved at this time, the function of the affected testicle is often damaged.

3. Testicular injury: The testicles are more mobile in the scrotum and are protected by a tough white membrane, so the chance of closure injury is relatively small. Testicular injury is mostly related to violence, car accidents, etc. After injury, the testicles will be severely painful, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and even fainting or shock. During physical examination, there will be testicular swelling, unclear contours or scrotal congestion, and obvious tenderness.

From the above introduction, we can understand that the left side of the testicle suddenly becomes much larger than the right side. The reason is not because of the disease, but other reasons. So male friends must pay attention to it at this time. If you are still worried, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. In this way, you can quickly know the cause and treat it. This is also the safest way.
