Hello Doctor,
I wanted to talk to you about something concerning me. I've noticed that one of my testicles is significantly larger than the other. It's quite noticeable; one is about the size it was when I was a baby, and the other is even bigger than an L egg. Is this normal, or should I be worried?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It's not uncommon for one testicle to be slightly larger than the other. Typically, the right testicle tends to be the larger one. A small size difference, roughly about half a teaspoon, is considered normal and nothing to worry about.
However, if you're noticing a significant size difference, such as one testicle being much larger than the other, it could potentially signal an underlying medical issue that needs attention.
It's essential to pay attention to any accompanying symptoms, such as pain, swelling, or the presence of lumps. Any sudden changes in the size or shape of your testicles should also not be ignored.
I strongly advise you to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation if you're experiencing any discomfort or notice any abnormalities. Regular self-exams are also crucial for maintaining your reproductive health. If you do notice anything out of the ordinary, seeking medical advice promptly is important.
Thanks
