What's going on with the two testicles being one above the other?

Although the testicles are very small organs, their role is very significant, because the testicles are the organs that produce sperm and can also promote the secretion of male hormones, so that the male gender characteristics remain balanced. However, testicular problems are unavoidable for many men. For example, what is the matter with two testicles, one above and one below? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope men can understand it.

Men's testicles are not on the same level, which is normal. If they are very symmetrical, that is abnormal. Don't worry, if there is no pain or discomfort in the testicles, there is no need to worry. The size and position of the bilateral testicles of normal people may vary to a certain extent. Some of them may gradually improve with age. If the difference is not obvious, it should be regarded as normal and will not have adverse effects on the future development of the child's reproductive organs. If the difference is large, it is necessary to consider the disease factors of testicular hydrocele or inguinal oblique hernia in the child. If you are unable to judge it yourself, it is recommended that you take your baby to the pediatric urology department for examination to clarify.

In normal men, the testicles are not exactly the same size. According to statistics, the right testicle is slightly larger than the left. Calculated by the length, width, and thickness of the testicle, the average on the right side is 3.38cm×2.37cm×1.78cm, and the average on the left side is 3.30cm×2.27cm×1.71cm. Even within the same age group, testicle size can vary greatly.

However, in adult males, the volume of the testicles is above 15 ml and their functions are normal. The testicular measurement method is relatively simple, especially the measurement comparison method is easier to perform. The specific method is: the testicular volume measuring device is an oval hard object with different volumes and shapes such as testicles, which are called No. 1 to No. 25 in sequence. When measuring, the testicle to be measured is pulled up, the scrotal skin is tightened, and the measuring needle is compared with the testicle one by one. The volume of the measuring needle that is closest to the testicle size is the testicular volume. Knowing the normal size of your testicles can help detect lesions in a timely manner. The testicles of a normal person are not the same size on both sides, but the difference is usually not very large. If the testicles on both sides were basically similar in size in the past, and one testicle suddenly becomes significantly larger recently, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
