Patient's question:
My child is 4 years old this year. There is a significant difference in the size of his two testicles. It looks like there is some swelling, but the child doesn't feel any discomfort.Hello, my child is over 4 years old. His two testicles are not the same size. What is the symptom, and what major impact does it have on his physical growth and development?
Doctor's answer:
If a 4-year-old child has two testicles of different sizes, further careful examination with ultrasound is needed to confirm. Especially if one of them is swollen and painful, it is necessary to rule out testicular inflammation, hydrocele, or varicocele. Although varicocele is more common in adults, children can also have congenital developmental issues. It can affect growth and development, making it difficult to conceive in the future.
