What should be done?Doctor's answer:
The sizes of the testicles on both sides of a normal male are not exactly the same. Statistics show that the right testicle is slightly larger than the left. If estimated by length, width, and thickness, the right testicle averages 3.38×2.37×0.78 (cm), while the left averages 3.30×2.27×0.71 (cm). Even among individuals of the same age group, there is a significant variation in testicular size. In normal adults, the volume of the testicles can range from 25 milliliters to as little as 15 milliliters. Generally, as long as the testicular volume is above 15 milliliters, their function remains the same. Understanding the normal size of your testicles also helps in detecting pathological changes.
