Patient's question:
My son has had a hernia and hydrocele since he was a child. He had surgery last May Day. Now his two testicles are of different sizes, one above and one below. What kind of help do you need:Hello, will it recur in the future? Will it affect his life after growing up?
Doctor's answer:
The testis is an internal reproductive organ in male reproductive organs. Regarding the phenomenon of one testis being larger/smaller than the other, let's first understand the normal structure of the testis, which is located on the left and right sides of the scrotum. The testis has an oval shape and is grayish-white in color. In general, the length of an adult testis is 3.5~4.5 cm, the width is 2-3 cm, the thickness is 1~2 cm, and each testis weighs 10-15 g. The left testis is generally about 1 cm lower than the right. In some people, one testis may be larger/smaller or higher/lower, but if the difference is not significant, it is considered a normal phenomenon.
