Why do testicles differ in size

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I would like to consult why the size of the testicles is different. I noticed that my husband's testicles on both sides are not the same size recently. Is this something I didn't notice before, or is there a pathological reason? I don't know if he has any other discomfort symptoms. He has a very strong sense of self-esteem, so I haven't dared to ask. What are the reasons for the different sizes of the testicles?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, under normal circumstances, the size of the testicles is not significantly different. However, if one side is noticeably enlarged and accompanied by pain, it could be a case of orchitis or epididymitis. If one side is enlarged without pain, it could be a possibility of a tumor. Since the testicles are important reproductive organs in males, responsible for producing sperm and secreting male hormones, problems with them, if not treated promptly, can affect semen quality and may lead to infertility in severe cases. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment, to avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment and causing other complications.
