Published: December 08, 2017
Dear TeenHealthFX,
I am a 15 year old boy and one of my testicles is double the size of the other.It does not hurt at all and I haven't noticed any lumps either but I'm concerned it could be a problem as i haven't found any reason for this to be happening. What should I do?

Dear One of My Testicles is Double the Size of the Other,

A small difference in the size of the two testicles is very common, however, if one of your testicles is double the size of the other it is a good idea to meet with a doctor. The problem could be a lack of blood flow, too much blood flow, an infection or an abnormal growth. Since TeenHealthFX cannot make any accurate diagnosis over the web, it is important for you to meet with a doctor who can diagnose and treat any medical issues that might be present.

If you don't have a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist or contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. A Planned Parenthood health center is a good option if you have concerns about cost or confidentiality issues. You can also contact your insurance company for a list of in-network providers.
