What is the normal size of testicles?

There are certain physiological differences between men and women. The testicles of men are the biggest physiological feature of men. After puberty, both men and women begin to secrete sex hormones, which stimulate the development of some parts of the body. How can you judge whether your development is normal? What size of testicles is considered normal?

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.

After puberty, the physiological characteristics will become more obvious. During the development process, the size of the testicles is different. Testicles that are too large or too small are abnormal. You need to compare the normal size of the testicles. You can observe some changes in your body and judge whether you are sick.
