Patient's question:
I recently found that my testicles are one big and one small. I would like to consult about this. Why do testicles become one big and one small?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the testicles of normal men are not exactly the same size on both sides. Even among people of the same age group, there is a significant difference in testicular size. In normal adults, the volume of the testicles can range from 25 milliliters in larger cases to 15 milliliters in smaller cases. Generally, as long as the testicular volume is above 15 milliliters, their function is the same. The testicles of normal people are not equal in size on both sides, but the difference is not too large. If both testicles have always been symmetrical (or slightly larger on the right side), and suddenly one side is noticeably enlarged, it should be a cause for concern. If the testicle enlargement is accompanied by fever and local pain, it may be epididymitis or orchitis. It is important to see a male specialist promptly for further examination and do not be negligent.
