At Clemenceau Medical Center Hospital, team of urologists and general surgeons specializes in treating abnormal testicle size, employing diagnostic measures, medications, and surgical interventions when required to treat underlying conditions.. Abnormal testicle size, whether enlarged or shrunken, can be indicative of underlying health issues.

Common causes and related conditions of Abnormal Testicle Size:

  1. Testicular Infections: Infections like epididymitis or orchitis can cause testicular swelling and pain.
  2. Varicocele: This is the enlargement of veins within the scrotum, often leading to one testicle being larger than the other.
  3. Testicular Torsion: A medical emergency, it occurs when the spermatic cord twists, cutting off blood flow to the testicle. This can lead to rapid testicle enlargement, along with severe pain.
  4. Hydrocele: A collection of fluid around the testicle can result in one or both testicles appearing larger.
  5. Hernia: An inguinal hernia can cause the scrotum to appear enlarged due to the protrusion of abdominal tissue.
  6. Testicular Cancer: Swelling or a lump in a testicle can be a sign of testicular cancer, which requires prompt medical evaluation.
  7. Hormonal Imbalance: Conditions like hypogonadism can lead to smaller testicle size due to inadequate testosterone production.
  8. Trauma: Physical injury to the testicles can cause swelling or shrinkage, depending on the severity of the injury.
  9. Orchialgia: Chronic testicular pain, which may lead to testicle discomfort or a sense of enlargement.
  10. Systemic Conditions: Certain systemic diseases like kidney disease, cirrhosis, or heart failure can lead to testicular enlargement due to fluid retention.
