Im a 29 year old guy.My penis size is just average but my testicals are small.I am infertile and produce no sperm (sperm count done).I know that i cant have kids and have learnt to accept that.What i want to know is there anything i can do or take that can increase there size , even if there larger and not fertile is still ok as i just want them to look normal.Any feedback much appreciated.

Probably not. But that is something you should discuss with your urologist, as he/she is the one who knows the medical reason for your condition. Did your testicles grow during puberty to an average adult size, but then shrink back at a later age? Or did they just never grow ro full size? Have you had your testosterone level checked?

Hi there , they did slighty grow though puberty as i have all normal features as deep voice , shaving ect.I had a testostone test done a few years back and it was on a grade of "16" , i was told "12" was normal and "18" was high.The Dr/specialist also memtion he didnt know why they were not a normal size but said it was no fault of my own.I was hopping maybe since then (this all happened in 1993) that something new may be out in the medical world to help encourage growth in that area.Im not after hugh.....just normal size.

It seems this is a really big thing for you and you have attached a great deal of importance to it. That being the case - and this is pretty far out - but if your happiness is dependent upon it, maybe you should check with a urologist about implants. He would know how functional your testicles are and whether or not you should consider it. It is highly probable that increasing the size of what you have now is unlikely.

As the proverb goes, "I complained that I had no shoes, until I met a man that had no legs." That is not meant to be heartless. I thought of it as I have the opposite problem - I have a variocele (extra mass of veins) in my left testicle. No real problem except that the extra weight makes it hang down, sometimes right out my boxer's leg.

It might be possible to do something surgical and try to "fix" the problem. I have had to consider that as you might. Are the risks and costs worth it? Or is it possible that as the proverb says, we can adjust our perspective on our perceived problem by becoming aware of other problems much worse than our own. I have been exposed to some of that on this forum. Research your medical condition on the net. Compare your problem to the types of problems others have. It might be helpful.
