One of my testicles is bigger than the other and also lower. I think it happened
because of excessive masturbation over a couple of years. Is this a disorder and
may lead to other diseases in the future. I am afraid to consult a doctor.
It is not a disorder or anything like that.
This is very normal, nothing you did caused it.
No need to see your doctor unless you are experiencing pain, or lumps are present.
In most guys the left testicle is lower and larger than the right one. In some guys, one of the testicles may be unusually small due to some disease. If your testicle has gotten much larger that the other one, then I think that you SHOULD see a doctor. You do not have to feel a lump in order for something to be wrong. By much larger I mean anything from 1.5 times larger and above. I know of some guys whose testicle was the size of a softball. Clearly that deserves the attention of a doctor.
As for being afraid to consult a doctor, consider this: If your left eyeball had doubled in size over the past year, would you go see a doctor? If you would, then why wouldn't you do so for you testicle?
Good Luck!
