Testicles of different sizes

In fact, the two testicles of male friends cannot be exactly the same size, and there are small differences between them. Since the testicles are an important part of the male reproductive organs, male friends are also very concerned about the health of their testicles. When they find that their testicles are different in size, they will be more worried. So when male friends have different testicles, what diseases should they consider?

The testicular measurement method for male diseases is relatively simple, especially the measurement quantum comparison method is easier to perform. The specific method is: the testicular volume measurement quantum is an elliptical hard object with different volumes, such as the testicle, which is called No. 1 to No. 25 in sequence. When measuring, the testicle to be measured is pulled up, the scrotal skin is tightened, and the measurement quantum is compared with the testicle one by one. The volume of the measurement quantum that is closest to the testicle size is the testicular volume.

Knowing the normal size of your testicles will help you detect pathological changes in time. The testicles of normal people are not the same size, but the difference is generally not very large. If the testicles on both sides were basically similar in size in the past, and one side suddenly becomes significantly larger recently, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. 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 whether there is a possibility of testicular tumor, and you should check it in time and don't be careless.

Among normal men, some have testicles of different sizes 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 one side of the testicle being very small and soft, like a baby testicle, while the other side of the testicle may be compensatory and 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 the difference in testicular size. For example, trauma can cause bleeding and hematoma in the testicle, which results in testicular blood supply disorder, leading to testicular atrophy, so the testicle on the affected side is smaller than the opposite side. Mumps virus can destroy the epithelial cells of the seminiferous tubules of the testicle, causing one side of the testicle to atrophy. Of course, there are many reasons for the difference in testicular size, but you should be careful not to regard other diseases in the scrotum as the cause of testicular 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 should be examined promptly.
