Patient's question:
Does the size difference of the testicles affect sperm? Hello doctor, I've been playing ball recently and have felt discomfort in my testicles. Later, I took a look myself and noticed that they seem to be getting different in size. Will this affect my future health? Could it be possible that I might not be able to have children?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of uneven testicular size, such as male testicular inflammation, epididymitis, and other diseases. If one testicle suddenly enlarges recently and is accompanied by symptoms like fever and local pain, it is commonly caused by testicular inflammation or epididymitis, and medical treatment should be sought promptly to avoid long-term delays that may lead to infertility.Advice: If you notice one testicle significantly larger than the other, don't panic or be frightened. You should seek detailed examination and treatment at a regular hospital as soon as possible. It's important to understand that any reason for scrotal changes, where one side is noticeably larger than the other, warrants timely medical attention.
