Patient's question:
My testicles are very small. Can they be enlarged through medication? Since puberty, I have felt that my genital development has been poor, especially when my penis is flaccid, it appears short, and my testicles are also very small (the size of pigeon eggs) and do not hang properly, always staying close to the base of the penis. This may be due to short spermatic cords or small testicles with little weight, making them unable to hang properly. Sometimes after ejaculation, they retract into the abdomen. Overall, my genitalia are not as large as those of a normal person (though my other secondary sexual characteristics are normal). So, I want to ask if it is possible to recover when the testicles are particularly small?Doctor's answer:
The testicles of normal adult males are not equal in size; generally, the right one is slightly larger than the left, but the difference is not very noticeable visually. Based on the symptoms you mentioned, testicular swelling and pain can be caused by various clinical conditions, such as chronic prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, varicocele, or foreign bodies within the testicle. The testicles are the male reproductive glands, and any issues can affect male function and fertility. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit our hospital's reproductive infection specialty department promptly. Under the guidance of a doctor, undergo relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis and receive timely treatment to avoid delays in the condition.
