Patient's question:
I have been fondling my testicles lately, but I've noticed that my left testicle seems larger than the right, and the right one is also softer. I've been married for a long time without using any contraception, yet I haven't been able to conceive a child. I'm very worried that it might be related to my testicles.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the testicles of a normal person are not the same size on both sides. According to statistics, the right side is slightly larger than the left. As long as the size of both sides is within the normal range, it will not affect fertility. Some people have had one larger and one smaller testicle since childhood. One testicle is small and soft, while the other compensates by becoming larger, with a very noticeable difference. This is congenital unilateral testicular dysplasia. Trauma to one testicle can also cause one testicle to be larger than the other. Due to trauma, internal bleeding and hematoma may occur in the testicle, resulting in insufficient blood supply and gradual atrophy, making it noticeably smaller than the other side.
