Patient's question:
A friend's child has just been born a few days ago. Today, they suddenly noticed that the testicles are of different sizes. At first, they thought it was just that the child hadn't developed much yet and that it would be fine after some time. However, they are worried about potential problems and want to ask a doctor if it's normal for the testicles to be of different sizes.Doctor's answer:
Generally, a child's testicles on both sides may be of different sizes, and as long as the difference isn't significant, it is also normal. This is because newborns' organs are still in the process of developing and haven't fully matured yet. In most cases, the condition is likely to fully recover later. If the difference between the two testicles is particularly large, this situation may require surgical correction. If parents are not very reassured, they can also go to a more reputable hospital in their area for a detailed examination.Urological diseases can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment.
