What is the reason for the abnormal enlargement of the left testicle?

Patient's question:

I am 19 and a half years old. It's quite obvious that it has been this way for at least 7 or 8 years. One night, by chance, I noticed that my testicles could be pushed up with my hand. But the right one is easier to push up. Let me show you my test report: the bilateral testicles are oval-shaped. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! It is normal for testicles to be of different sizes, but the difference should only be around 0.. According to the report, the left testicle is larger, and there is hydrocele in the testicle. If both testicles were roughly the same size in the past and one suddenly becomes significantly larger recently, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If one testicle is enlarged along with fever and local pain, it could be epididymitis or orchitis. Enlargement of the testicle is often caused by diseases such as hydrocele, testicular tumors, or epididymal tuberculosis. If these conditions are not treated in a timely manner, they can also lead to low sperm and semen quality, affecting fertility.
