A member asked:
I am 16 years old and i noticed that one testicle is bigger than the other one. what is the most common cause. is this normal. could it be cancer?

Likely normal: Asymmetry in the paired organ is quite normal. Woman generally have one breast larger than the other. As long as the size is stable, there is no need to worry. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
