One testicle is large and the other is small

The testicle is the male reproductive organ and its main function is to produce sperm and secrete some male hormones. It is of great clinical significance to men. In life, we must promptly detect diseases in the testicular area. At the same time, the incidence of testicular disease is relatively high. Many people do not pay much attention to it, which causes many friends to develop some common men's diseases. If they are not cured for a long time, more serious types of diseases will occur.

Many people have one testicle that is larger than the other. This situation is mainly divided into two common types: physiological and pathological. At the same time, many patients are also more worried about the occurrence of this type of disease, because it not only affects the health of sperm production but also has certain harm to the patient himself.

First, the size of a normal person's testicles is not the same on both sides, but the difference is not too big. Generally, the right testicle is slightly larger than the left. Second, if a child's testicles have always been symmetrical (or the right testicle is slightly larger than the left) and have not increased significantly recently, then it should be normal. On the contrary, if one side of a child's testicle suddenly increases significantly, then you should pay attention.

3. In addition, if a child's testicles are one larger than the other and the difference is obvious from a very young age, it is mostly caused by congenital diseases, such as congenital unilateral testicular hypoplasia; also, trauma to one side of the testicle can also cause the testicles to be one larger than the other; the mumps virus can destroy the epithelial cells of the seminiferous tubules in the testicle, which is also one of the important reasons for causing testicles to be one larger than the other.

Fourth, some people mistake other lesions in the scrotum for one testicle being larger than the other. For example, hydrocele is actually just a water bag surrounding the testicle, not the enlargement of the testicle itself.

The above are the common symptoms of one testicle being larger than the other. At the same time, one testicle being larger than the other is also a common disease. In life, it is mainly divided into two types: physiological and pathological. There are also many types of diseases that occur at the same time. For this type of disease, different aspects of treatment are mainly carried out according to the cause. Be sure to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. At the same time, if you find this type of disease, you must maintain an optimistic attitude.
