Is Having Different Testicular Sizes Normal?

Sir, i have been masturbating since the age of 14 and now iam 18. Some days i would masturbate 3-4 times but most of the time only once. It was when i was of the age of 14(when i had already started masturbating) that my left testicle was hanging i.e. My left testis was longer than the right one. Till now i have it. Is it normal or i have any disease. Thankyou

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Most difference in testicle size is normal if there is nothing else wrong with the penis and testicles. One can usually be up to 25% larger then the other while young men are undergoing puberty and its not a big deal. It is unlikely to affect your sperm assuming there is no other problem. I’m guessing from your age that you are close to the end of most of your pubertal development so I would probably make sure you point it out to your doctor the next time you see them and make sure they do a good exam to look for a varicocele or other changes. There is no rush and if it waits until your next physical exam that is fine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
