Patient's question:
16-year-old orchitis has been treated well for two or three years, but the testicles are still one side larger than the other. The side that had a recurrence of orchitis is half the size of the normal side. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Had orchitis, the development of the testicles may be affected. In general, adult testicles are 3.5-6 cm long, 2.3-4 cm wide, and 2-2.8 cm thick. Due to individual differences in physical constitution, there may be variations in size. Statistics show that the right testicle is slightly larger than the left, but the shape of the testicles is not very important. As long as the function is normal, it does not affect fertility. You can have a routine semen analysis to confirm. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to immediately go to a professional and regular hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and maintain good personal hygiene.
