Patient's question:
Today, my testicles suddenly swelled a bit and felt slightly painful, but by the evening, the pain and swelling subsided. However, inside, they feel a bit hard, and now I'm experiencing a slight sensation—hardly painful, but not completely painless. It's different from usual. What could be the reason for the swelling and pain in my testicles?Doctor's answer:
Enlarged testicles. The testicles are a pair of oval, solid organs. The surface is smooth and light pink. In adults, the testicles are 3.5-4.5 cm long, 2-3 cm wide, and 1-2 cm thick. The left testicle is slightly larger, while the right testicle is slightly smaller. Each weighs about 20g. Enlarged testicles. If the difference between the two sides is not significant, it generally does not affect much. If the difference is large, it is important to pay attention to the possibility of conditions such as orchitis, epididymitis, hernia, or testicular underdevelopment. Therefore, patients should take timely and appropriate medication and pay more attention to self-care in daily life to avoid spicy foods.
