One of my testicles has grown larger. What's going on?

We all know that the testicles are very important reproductive organs for men. The substances that are important components of semen are produced here. If there is an abnormality, it is very likely to affect normal fertility. Therefore, once the testicles become enlarged, it still makes men very nervous. So, what is going on when a testicle becomes enlarged? Let's take a detailed look below.

The testicles are located in the scrotum, one on each side, and the left side is generally 1 cm lower than the right side. The testicles are slightly flattened elliptical, with a smooth surface, divided into inner and outer sides, front and back edges, and upper and lower ends. The front edge is free; the back edge has blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels entering and exiting, and is in contact with the epididymis and the testicular part of the vas deferens. The upper and back edges are attached to the epididymis head, and the lower end is free. The outer side is convex and the inner side is flat. The testicles grow rapidly with sexual maturity, and shrink and become smaller with the decline of sexual function in old age.

The two sides of the testicles of normal adult males are not equal in size. Generally, the right side is slightly larger than the left side, which is not very obvious visually. However, due to individual differences, the left side may be larger than the right side. As long as the function is normal, it is generally considered normal. The average right side is 3.38×2.27×1.71 cm, 3.30×2.37×1.78 cm. If one side of the testicle is significantly larger than the other, common clinical reasons include orchitis, epididymitis, testicular foreign body, tumor, etc. The testicle is the male reproductive gland. If there is a problem and it is not treated in time, it will affect the male's sexual function and fertility.

The above is an introduction to what happens when one testicle becomes larger. I hope it will help you understand. Generally speaking, the sizes of the two testicles are different, which is normal. It may also be a sign of some male disease. It is best to combine it with other symptoms. If it is abnormal, it is best to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment to avoid greater harm.
