different sized testicles Posted: 02-02-08 20:54pm
It%u2019s hard to put this into words, so
I will do the best that I can. I%u2019m
28 years old and as long as I can remember
I have always had this problem, if
it%u2019s even one at all. This could be
normal and I%u2019m just a hypercondreact
in many ways. The following is a testical
problem; my left testical fluctuates in
size from normal (normal being the same
size as the right tesical) to an enlarged
state (what seems to look like almost
double the size of the right testical).
My left testical also hangs lower than the
right testical too. I first brought this
to the doctors attention when I was 15
years old needing a physical to play high
school soccer. The doctor said everything
was normal and it%u2019s not uncommon for
one testical to be larger then the other
one and hang lower too. At 20 years old I
had it looked at again as part of my 20
year old physical. The doctor found
nothing to be out of the ordinary and said
that one testical larger and hanging lower
is common. About 5 days I when to see the
doctor (because I%u2019m taking a human
sexuality course and chapter 5 was talking
about the male reproductive organs and
when I read the section about tesicals and
common problem my mind went crazy, hence
the HYPERCONDREACT) He examined both
testicals and again he found nothing
abnormal. He said that the left testical
is larger than the right one and it%u2019s
not as solid as the right one. He said
that my spermatic cord and epididymis is
normal. I also told him that once every
so often (twice a year, give or take) it
will feel like someone has tapped my
testicals and I get that feeling that I
was just kick in the testicals. I
checked, and the doctor checked and their
does not appear to be any lumps on the
testicals. When my left testical is
fluctuating in size, I feel no pain. I
don't even know it is happening until i
look down there. When my testical is
enlarged and hanging low, sometimes if I
touch on the bottom, it is lightly
sensitive to the touch but no pain or
sensitivity anywhere else. Sometimes if I
touch my epididymis on the left testical
it slighty feels senitive like I have been
tapped in the testicals. Me being the
hypercondreact that i am i search the
internet and find symptoms that i knid of
fall into at least one or more of the
categories of the following:
Epididymitis
Hydrocele
Testicular cancer
Torsion
Varicocele
and it's scaring the heck out of me. Am i
a HYPROCONDREACT

Tesical size Posted: 04-01-08 03:27am
My son who is 11 years old had asked me if
it was normal to have one Tesical bigger
than the other because he was worried, of
course he had just found them. I said yes
it was. He then asked me why? I couldn't
answer because I didn't know.
So my question is why is one tesical
bigger than the other?
