What is the reason for the right testicle being larger than the left after five and a half months?

Patient's question:

My baby is five and a half months old. I noticed that the right testicle is larger than the left. What is this symptom? What is going on?

Doctor's answer:

The baby is five and a half months old. The right testicle is larger than the left, and there is a preliminary consideration of a possible hydrocele or inguinal hernia. It is recommended that you take your child to a local regular hospital for a follow-up visit in pediatric surgery, have a color ultrasound to check if it is a hydrocele or inguinal hernia, so that symptomatic treatment can be provided. For testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
