"Why Is One Side of the Scrotum Larger Than the Other?"

One side of the scrotum being larger than the other may be caused by conditions such as testicular torsion, testicular cyst, testicular tumor, epididymitis, and testicular hypoplasia. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital for diagnosis and receive treatment based on the results.

1. Testicular Torsion:

Testicular torsion occurs when the testicle rotates from its fixed position and compresses its blood supply. Emergency surgical treatment is required to restore the position and blood supply of the testicle.

2. Testicular Cyst:

A cyst formed by the accumulation of fluid or blood within the testicle. Usually, no treatment is needed, but surgical removal may be required if the cyst enlarges or causes discomfort.

3. Testicular Tumor:

Growth of a tumor within the testicle, which may cause enlargement of one side. Surgical removal of the tumor is necessary, and chemotherapy or radiotherapy may be required.

4. Epididymitis:

Inflammation of the epididymis (a small tube located above the testicle). Antibiotic treatment is prescribed, and hot compresses or topical medication may be necessary.

5. Testicular Hypoplasia:

Failure of the testicles to develop normally during embryonic development. Usually, no treatment is needed, but surgical correction or treatment of related complications may sometimes be required.

If one side of the scrotum appears larger than the other, medical attention should be sought promptly for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
