Is it normal for a man to have three testicles?

Patient's question:

Today I saw an article on my phone about male testicles. It seems that the man had three testicles, which felt very strange. Is it normal for a man to have three testicles?

Doctor's answer:

The two testicles of a man are relatively normal, and although one is larger than the other, there will never be a significant difference again. Having three testicles is definitely abnormal. However, the three testicles you mentioned may not all be testicles. It is possible that they are appendages such as the epididymal cyst or epididymal node that grow near the testicles. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an scrotal MRI to clarify the situation. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
