What Causes an Enlarged Testicle?

According to statistics, the right testis is slightly larger than the left, with an average of 3.38 x 2.27 x 1.71 cm and 3.30 x 2.37 x 1.78 cm on the right. Even in the same age group, the size of the testicles varies. The testicles of normal adults can be as large as 25 milliliters, and the small ones may be only a few milliliters. It is generally considered that the testicular volume of adults is less than 10 milliliters. For the treatment of microtestis, it should be treated separately according to different situations, such as different testicle sizes caused by varicocele. As long as varicocele surgery is performed, the problem will be solved.

The testicle measurement method is relatively simple, especially the measurement method is easier. The specific method is as follows: testicular volume measurers are oval-shaped hard objects with different volumes, such as testes, which are called 1 to 25 in sequence.

During the measurement, the testicles are pulled up, the scrotal skin is tightened, and the testes are compared with the testes one by one. The test volume that is closest to the size of the testis is the testis volume. Knowing the normal size of your testicles will help you find lesions in a timely manner. The testicles of normal people are unequal in size on both sides, but the differences are generally not large.

If the size of the testicles on the two sides is similar in the past, and the testicles on one side have suddenly increased significantly in the near future, you should go to the hospital for examination. If one side of the testicles is enlarged, accompanied by fever and local pain, it may be epididymitis or orchitis. If the testis enlargement is not accompanied by any symptoms, you should consider whether there is a possibility of testicular tumors, and you should check in time and do not be careless.

In normal men, some people have different testicle sizes since childhood. The differences are sometimes obvious. This is mostly due to congenital diseases. Such as congenital hypoplasia of one side of the testis, which is manifested as small testicles on one side, soft texture, such as infantile testicles, while the contralateral testicles can have a compensatory increase, larger than normal people, so the testicles on both sides The sizes are different, but this is generally rare. In addition, trauma can also cause differences in the size of the testes on both sides. For example, trauma can cause testicular hemorrhage and hematoma, resulting in testicular blood supply disorders and testicular atrophy, so the affected side is smaller than the contralateral testis.
