Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

All men and Testes: All men's testes are different sizes. There is one more dominant than the other. This is a vital thing to know as you age in to the age risk for testicular cancer and when you do your monthly testicle checks. Varicoceles are incidental to this discussion.
