What if your right testicle is lager than the other?
However, in some cases, a significant size difference between the testicles can be a sign of an underlying medical condition, such as:
- Testicular cancer
- Undescended testicle
- Varicocele
- Hydrocele
- Inguinal hernia
- Infection
- Trauma
Testicular cancer is the most serious potential cause of a large difference in testicle size. Testicular cancer is rare, but it is important to be aware of the symptoms, which can include:
- A lump in the testicle
- Pain in the testicle
- Swelling of the testicle
- A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
- Changes in the texture of the testicle
- A change in the size or shape of the testicle
If you are concerned about a difference in the size of your testicles, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and examine your testicles. They may also order an ultrasound of the testicles to get a better view of the structures inside the scrotum.
In most cases, a difference in testicle size is not a cause for concern. However, if you are concerned about a difference in the size of your testicles, it is important to see a doctor for evaluation.
