One of my testicles is half the size of the other

Question:

Hello Sir,

Yesterday I noticed that my right testicle was about half the size of my left testicle. I need help. What should I do?

Thank You and God bless you.

Answer:

It is not unusual for the two testicles to be slightly different sizes, especially during development. To have one half the volume of the other is extreme, however. I would suggest that you start with your regular family doctor, who might then steer you to a specialist.

Most likely you had an undescended testicle when you were born; had a disease, such as mumps; or had some other damage to one of the testicles. While it is disturbing, there is a reason God gave men two testicles. One testicle can produce all the hormones you need to properly develop as a male and it can supply sufficient sperm to get your wife pregnant.

Have it checked out soon, but don’t consider it a matter to panic over.
