Is it normal for one testicle of the child to be normal and the other very small?

Patient's question:

The child's testicles are normal, but one is particularly small. He is now ten years old. Just now, he had a thorough examination at the hospital, and the doctor said to go to the city hospital for a check-up. Is that normal?

Doctor's answer:

The child is ten years old and has one testicle, while the other is particularly small, which must be abnormal. My suggestion is that the child's particularly small testicle may be caused by poor growth and development, and it is necessary to take the child to a regular top-tier hospital for thorough examination and treatment. Testicles can be resolved, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, take medication appropriately, and also develop good living habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
