Enlarged Right Testicle

Hi, im 14 years old and for the last maybe 3 years or so i've noticed my right testicle is a lot larger than my left. My left testicle Testicle  seems very small, unlike the right. My right testicle has never hurt or anything, but seems to expand a bit when it is hot and shrink when its cold. The doctor has never looked at it and i just told my dad a while ago. I was wondering if it's probably just Hydrocele and if so should i go to the doctors to have it checked out? It is about 2.5 times the size of my left testicle and has a firm yet squishy feel to it. What should i do? Thanks so much for your time.

hi,

I had a hydrocele from my 15th, but only noticed it at the age of 17. it also reacted to temperature, but my doctor said only to operate on it if it was bothering me. Having said this he wanted me to go to a urologist anyways, just to be sure. If I were you I would have it checked out, just like Vanessa Lacuesta advises.

O, by the way, the operation is not that big a deal. I walked out of the hospital after an hour or two. If you are worried about what might be going to happen, feel free to send me a message ok?

Hi,

It would be best to have it evaluated by a urologist. An initial assessment will serve as your baseline. This may not sound urgent in the absence of urinary symptoms ( pain in urination, frequent urination ) and scrotal pain, redness or abrupt swelling.

You may do a self testicular examination to note any changes in the structures within the scrotum.A scrotal ultrasound may be able to help.
