Patient's question:
Doctor, why is my left testicle larger than the right one? Could you please tell me what the common treatments are for abnormal testicular shape?Doctor's answer:
In normal males, some people have testicles that are of different sizes on both sides since childhood. The difference can sometimes be very noticeable. This is mostly caused by congenital diseases, such as congenital unilateral testicular dysgenesis. This condition manifests as one testicle being small and soft, resembling an infantile testicle, while the opposite testicle may have compensatory reduction and may be slightly larger than a normal one. Therefore, having testicles of different sizes on both sides is a normal phenomenon.The condition of urological diseases is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals in a timely manner. Treatment should be considered based on careful examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
