Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. There are charts that provide information about normal penile size for particular age groups.  You can look this up on line and get an idea if the length of his penis is within normal limits. If he is well below the mean, than you could consult with your doctor. I don't what to say about testicular size.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

No: No, you cannot grow a third testicle.  However, you can develop a benign cyst or a tumor that may mimic a third testicle.  If a "third" testicle is identified, this should be evaluated by your doctor to do appropriate testing to determine if this is a benign condition or possible malignancy.

Question 5

one testicle larger than the other. what can be causing this?

Accepted Answer

?hydrocele or testis: Larger side might have a hydrocele, tumor or cyst. Smaller testicle might have been previously  corrected undescended testis, munps in past or presence of a large varicocele. Testes can grow at different rates during puberty ; smaller one may or may not catch up in time ; both testes can otherwise be normal. Thus although not normal maybe ok. Scrotal ultrasound would clarify.

Question 6

is it unusual to have one testicle much larger than the other?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: But need not be a problem unless smaller testis is much higher than the other, have had mumps in the past, or have a large varicocele or hernia on small side. Larger side might have a hydrocele. Testes can grow at different rates during puberty ; smaller one may or may not catch up in time ; both testes can otherwise be normal. Thus although not normal maybe ok. Scrotal ultrasound would clarify.

Question 7

i have a large dis formed thing attached to my right testicle?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor ASAP: Any large thing attached to your testicle is potentially serious. It might not be too serious, but it might be testicular cancer, which, while serious, usually responds well to treatment. But the sooner you are treated the better. You can start with a family doctor or internist, but the best specialist to see is a urologist; if you call and explain your situation you should able to be seen soon.

Question 8

my husband's right testicle is much larger than left. is it ok?

Accepted Answer

See MD: Your husband should see a urologist to have an exam and scrotal ultrasound to identify if there is an issue with the right or with the left testicle.  It could be atrophy of the left (shrinkage) or an abnormality on the right if the left is normal size.  Either way, see md immediately.
