Patient's question:
My right testicle appears to be larger than the left. I had a testicular ultrasound, which confirmed that it is indeed larger than the left one. However, recently when I touched it, I noticed that the left testicle feels much rounder than the right... This makes it seem like the right one has become shriveled. Is this abnormal? Could it be testicular atrophy? What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The testicles on both sides are different sizes, and this is not a pathological condition. You can undergo a routine semen analysis, in addition to a thorough ultrasound examination of both testicles! The condition of the testicles can be prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and to pay attention to personal hygiene.
