There is nothing to worry about, the natural size of men's testicles means that one is usually slightly bigger than the other testicle.

The average size of a normal testicle is between 12 and 30 cubic centimetre. Human testes are slightly lopsided and usually on the left hand side, meaning one testicle is slightly bigger than the other and they tend to hang a little lower as well.

If you feel you are experiencing larger issues of the testicles than what is described here, or you are suffering with anything relating to your testicles then you should consult your doctor or specialist.

The testicles are an extremely key function as they house the reproductive organs which are essential in procreation. On average there are around 200 million sperm produced on a daily basis by the testicles. However, it only requires one to create another human being especially when the woman is fertile enough so it penetrates one of her eggs.

You should be wary of any lumps or bumps in the testicles as this could be the possible early stages of testicular cancer. If you witness or see any minor things that look like lumps, you should seek medical advice as soon as possible.

The only way to test for this beforehand is if you run your hands smoothly over your testicles. You should be able to feel the scrotum (the outer skin that houses the testicles). Once you run your fingers carefully over them, you should be able to detect a smooth surface throughout. Anything irregular should be immediately checked out.

This depends on the individual person. In some men, it could be normal. However, it could also be the signs and symptoms of a more serious problem. If it is not causing you any pain, problems with urination or intercourse, then it is probably nothing to worry about. However, if it is causing you any type of problem, then you should consult with a Urologist.

It is normal if one is bigger than the other, however if you have a small pea sized pump on your testicle you should get it checked out.

Testes are part of male reproductive and endocrine systems and responsible for the production of sperms and male hormone called testosterone. Normal size of the testicles is 12 cm3 to 30 cm3. The mammalian testes are asymmetrical which means one testicle is slightly larger than other and one hang lower than other. It is usually (85%) left testicle which hangs lower than other. If you feel extraordinary difference between the size of two testicles and  some pain and inflammation then visit to a doctor.

Yes, it is ok to have one bigger than the other. Being normal is a broad statement because a lot of men have this condition. When you are born you have what they call ascending and descending testicles if you have this problem You is ascending. It doesn't mean you will have any problems with this other than maybe a lower sperm count on that side. You may want to see a Dr., about it as a consultation to make sure everything is ok inside it though.

Testicles are like women's breasts, neither one of them will ever be the EXACT same size, and one will always hang a tad bit lower than the other one. In men and women both.
