The left and right testicles are not the same size

Many male friends have recently noticed that there is something wrong with the size of their testicles. The sizes of the testicles on both sides are not the same. Therefore, they have some doubts in their hearts. They don't know whether this situation will harm the body or whether it is serious. In fact, it is normal for the size of the testicles on both sides of a man to be different, but the difference should not be too big, otherwise it will be very dangerous. Let's take a look at the reasons together.

Why do two male testicles have different sizes?

1. The size of the testicles of ordinary people is not the same, but the difference is not very big. If the size of the testicles on both sides is similar in the past, and one side of the testicle suddenly becomes significantly enlarged recently, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately. If the enlargement of one side of the testicle is accompanied by fever and local pain, it may be epididymitis or orchitis. If the enlargement of the testicle is not accompanied by any symptoms, you should consider the possibility of testicular tumor and check it immediately without any hesitation.

2. 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, if one side of the testicle is congenitally underdeveloped, the main manifestation is that one side of the testicle is very small and soft in color, like a child-type testicle, while the testicle on the same side will be compensated and larger than that of normal people, so the testicles on both sides are different in size, but this situation is generally rare.

3. Trauma can also cause the size difference of the two testicles. Trauma can cause the capillaries of the male testicles to rupture and abscess, which results in obstruction of the blood supply to the male testicles, causing testicular atrophy. Therefore, the testicle on the affected side is smaller than the opposite side. The mumps virus can destroy the seminiferous tubules of the male testicles, causing one side of the male testicle to shrink.

After reading the above three explanations, I believe that male friends have a basic understanding of the problem of "one testicle is big and the other is small". Normally, the two testicles of men are different in size, but it is not very obvious in appearance. If the difference is really big, you should go to the hospital to seek help from the doctor.
