Different sized testicles (guys only plz) - Sexual Health - Teens Message Board

This has been bugging me for some time now, and I need to know if it's going to go away.
I'm 16 years old, and the problem is with my dick. Not too big/small or anything like that - I'm worried because the right testicle is about 1/3 of the size of the left one. It's been like that for as long as I can remember, and I was hoping the smaller one would grow to the larger ones' size in due course with puberty, etc...
At 16 most of the major stuff has already happened to the body and it's starting to get really annoying. The last thing I want to do is show a girl a malformed penis.
What I want to know is if anyone else is out there with different sized balls, if the "condition" is common, and if anyone who has had my problem but now does not could tell me what age it became apparant that things were sorting themselves out, or what medical help they received.

Many thanks

Hey bud, one of our testicles is always a bit smaller than the other. It helps with protecting them when we do physical activity or even in sitting. Allows them to be positioned sorta in an upper/lower configuration so they don't rub or "bang" together too much. However, what you are describing seems a bit more small than what I've heard about. I don't think its a problem at all and things should work fine. But I do here what you're saying about the appearance factor and it being noticeable. How bout this, next time you see a doc just ask him to check it out...I know that's not an easy thing but docs have seen them all before. Just explain that you have a question about your testicles and would like him to take a look and make sure everything is OK there. He'll do that and then you'll know for sure. Hope this helps and good luck!

I have the same exact problem except my LEFT testicle is about a 1/3 of the size of my right one. When I'm relaxed, say in the shower, you can't tell. But if I'm lying down it's really noticeable. My testicles look like this... o0

I think I have to get a physical for the start of the school year this year. I'm terrified of the doctor telling me I have cancer or I can't have children. That'd be the worst day of my life.
