Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I want to consult if it's normal for the testicles to be different in size. I noticed that my left and right testicles are not the same size, and I'm a bit worried. I don't know if everyone is like this or if something is wrong with me. Will it affect fertility? Is it normal for a man's testicles to be one larger than the other?Doctor's answer:
Hello, under normal circumstances, the size of the testicles on both sides is not the same, but they should be roughly the same size with a slight difference. If one testicle is significantly larger than the other, that is not normal. There are two possible reasons: one is that the larger testicle may have symptoms of hydrocele, in which case an ultrasound examination is needed to diagnose it. Surgical treatment may be necessary if required. The other possibility is that the smaller testicle shows signs of atrophy, which also requires an ultrasound examination to determine. Such conditions need to be treated promptly, and there will be no adverse effects after treatment.
