What should I do if my baby's testicles look one side bigger than the other?

Patient's question:

The testicles of a full-term male baby look one side larger than the other. Sometimes they are noticeably different in size, while at other times the difference is not very obvious. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

How significant the reduction is and how large the change is, you can have a color Doppler ultrasound of the testicles. Usually, it's normal, but it's important to rule out conditions like undescended testicles or hydrocele. If there are no such problems, it's considered normal. The testicles can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it's prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, during the treatment period, it's recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a balanced diet.
