Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I want to ask about the cause of one testicle being larger than the other. My left testicle is significantly larger than my right by twice, but I have no discomfort, no pain, and can still have normal erections. What could be the reason for this? I want to ask, is this normal? What causes one testicle to be 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. This condition needs to be treated, and after treatment, there will be no adverse effects.
