Is It Normal To Have One Testicle Larger Than The Other ?
I'm a 19 year old male.
One of my testicles, the right one, is really big, like bigger than a large egg, while my left one is the size of a gumball.
I've read on the web that it could be from masturbation, and it does get bigger when I masturbate, so I figure that's what it is. I never have any pain from it. I'm wondering what the possible fixes to this would be, I just can't stand the look of it.
I haven't gone to see my family doctor yet, kinda shy about that.

Hi young man.
Thanks for your query.First of all you have to shy away from shyness. This is so much important as showing to a Doctor , preferable Urologist is of utmost importance as are the investigations.
Since one side is definitely enlarged and is painless , you have to get this clinically examined by an Urologist / General Surgeon, who on clinical examination can help you the most ans also check for hernia and other problems.
Secondly ultrasonography and color doppler study will help to establish diagnosis as to whether this is a hernia, hydrocele or cancer.
So get investigated and be seen by an Urologist as soon as possible, and go for further management as advised .
