Patient's question:
I recently noticed something unusual while touching my testicles. What is the shape of the testicles?Doctor's answer:
The male testicles are located in the scrotum, with each one. Generally, the left testicle is slightly lower than the right by about one centimeter. The testicles are flat, oval-shaped, with a smooth surface, divided into inner and outer sides, front and back edges, and upper and lower sides. The front end of the testicle is free, while the back end has blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels entering and exiting, meeting the testicular part of the epididymis and vas deferens. The upper end is attached to the epididymis head, while the lower end is free. The outer surface is more convex, and the inner surface is relatively flat. The testicles grow rapidly with sexual maturity and gradually shrink and become smaller with age as sexual function declines. Urological diseases tend to be recurrent.
