What should I do if a 9-year-old boy has one testicle that is larger than the other?

Patient's question:

A nine-year-old boy has one testicle larger than the other?

Doctor's answer:

A boy's testicles are one side larger than the other, and there are issues with normal growth and development. The child is only nine years old now, and after entering puberty, the testicles may change, but this will not interfere with normal fertility. However, it is still necessary to return to the hospital for a follow-up examination and ask the doctor to check if it is caused by hydrocele or hernia. You should go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis and then adopt the correct treatment method. Even if surgical treatment is performed, there is no need to worry, as it is a common minor surgery with no significant risks.
