Question 1

can a very small varicoele cause discomfort when standing for long periods of time? i was told only big ones do, but i always get that heavy feeling on one testicle if i stand for a few hours. i have a grade one varicocele. does this make sense/ normal?

Accepted Answer

Dull ache: can occur;however, if not performed recently, get a scrotal ultrasound  and a urology consultation

Question 2

is it normal to have one much testicle bigger than the other? my right testicle is bigger than my left by quite a bit

Accepted Answer

Depends on details: Most guys have a right testicle that is about the same size as the left. Occasionally, a boy will have unequally sized testicles as he grows up. If that is the case, and the unequal size has been there for years, and has been checked by a doctor, then that is considered normal for that person. However, if an adult has one that later grows bigger than the other, his doctor will check for a tumor.

Question 3

is it normal for one testicle to be higher than other?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Right usually higher.  Hence the chinese name for testicles: huanghunghi-huanghunglo.

Question 4

is it normal for only one testicle to descend but not the other?

Accepted Answer

No: Normally, both testicles descend into the scrotum before a baby boy is born. Sometimes only one descends, and doctors have to move the other one down into the scrotum. Occasionally, both testicles do not descend and have to be brought down.

Question 5

why might it be that one testicle of a normal men is bigger than the other?

Accepted Answer

Testes: It is not uncommon to have a size discrepancy. The real question is whether one is too small or too large.  I would be more concerned if this was a relatively new finding rather than the way you've always been.  Get examined just to be sure the larger tesits is not cancerous.

Question 6

how much lower is it normal for one testicle to hang than the other? visibly lower normal?

Accepted Answer

Usually normal.: No problem provided higher testis is beyond neck of scrotum ;/or does not feel uncomfortable. Left is usually the lower testicle if one is lower than the other. One of my old professors said it was because most men are right-handed and would not have to reach as far for the right testis.

Question 7

is it normal to feel a slight change in size between the cords of one testicle from the other?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, it's not uncommon and the testicle sizes could be different too.

Question 8

can you live a normal life with having one testicle? what are the disadvantages of having one testicle?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. There is no effect on male function. The only disadvantage may be cosmetic if that is an issue for you. If so, a prosthesis (fake testicle) can be surgically implanted.

Question 9

my left testicle is about three times as big as my other one and is like an oval shape, is this abnormal?

Accepted Answer

Testicle Anatomy: It sound pretty normal to me.  One testicle is the dominant one and one is the backup in case of injury to the dominant one.  Healthy testicles are almond shaped.

Question 10

left testicle doesn't retract or move as like the right one when coughing, etc.is it normal.!! what can be done for this?

Accepted Answer

: Some asymmetry in organs is normal. If you do not have any other symptoms, let it be.
