Is one of the baby's testicles larger than the other?

Patient's question:

Only one month old, when he was born, a physical examination was done, and there were no problems. At that time, the testicles were of normal size, and both sides were the same size. But now, after a month, I noticed that my child's testicles are one big and one small. Is it a disease? The assistance needed: Is it a disease that my child's testicles are one big and one small?

Doctor's answer:

The differences are minor, so you don't need to worry too much. In normal individuals, the size and position of the testicles on both sides may vary slightly, which usually does not interfere with future normal growth and development or fertility. If the size difference between the child's testicles is significant, you should be cautious about the possibility of him suffering from pediatric inguinal hernia or hydrocele. If you are unable to make a judgment, it is recommended to take the child to a pediatric general surgery department for a doctor to examine and confirm the diagnosis.
