Patient's question:
While taking a bath recently, I noticed that my testicles were actually quite large. Why do some men have one testicle larger than the other?Doctor's answer:
The testes are a pair of oval, solid organs with smooth surfaces and a light pink color. In adults, the testes are approximately 3.5-4.5 cm long, 2-3 cm wide, and 1-2 cm thick. The left testis is slightly to the right, and each weighs about 20 grams. It is necessary to promptly investigate the cause. The most common reason is hydrocele, which generally requires surgical treatment. Additionally, epididymitis and orchitis can also cause symptoms. The second-grade neurons can lead to testicular swelling and pain. Azithromycin or doxycycline is typically used as medication. Relief can be provided with ibuprofen and cold compresses to alleviate pain and swelling.
