Doctor's answer:
The testicles of normal men are not exactly the same size on both sides. Some people's testicles have always been one larger than the other, with a very noticeable difference, which is often caused by congenital diseases. For example, congenital unilateral testicular hypoplasia is characterized by one testicle being very small and of a more infantile texture, while the contralateral compensatory fibrosis is slightly larger than usual, resulting in one testicle being significantly larger than the other. However, this condition is relatively rare. Trauma to one testicle can also lead to one testicle being larger than the other, as the injury may cause internal bleeding and a hematoma, resulting in insufficient blood supply and gradual shrinkage, making it noticeably smaller than the other side. Mumps virus can destroy the epithelial cells of the seminiferous tubules in the testicles, which is also one of the important reasons for one testicle being larger than the other.
