Hi, new here but i was wondering if it is normal for one testicle to be larger than the other. For a good while now my right testicle has been larger than my left. However i have no other symptoms. No pains or anything. There are no lumps or anything abnormal other than it is just larger than my other.
Are there any long term health effects that i should be aware of and get a doc appt immediately or wait? Or is it normal for some 17 year olds to have a larger testicle?
Please respond. thank you :-D

The two testicles are rarely the same size. However, if one of them is very large like the size of a lemon or an orange, then it may be a condition called a hydrocele. If the urologist determines this by an optical test, he will either tell you to watch for further growth, or that the sac needs a surgery to remove the inner lining of the sac. It is not a serious thing, but may become uncomfortable to have that excess mass between your legs. The mass is only extra fluid in there. Some doctors will simply drain the excess fluid out, but it will fill up again over time and have to be repeated.
