Nuts are completely different sizes...

---

OK... is this something I should be worried about...

the nut on the left side is only about 20%-25% the size of the nut on my right side! (Sorry that these aren't proper scientific names... I don't know them...)

I have noticed a slight tendency for the right side of my body to be larger (I'd say my left ear is about 95% of the size of my right ear...) however it is quite a bit more extreme right there.

So... should I be worried? Is this a sign of prostate cancer or something? Or is it nothing? I'd really like to be told it's nothing but if that's a lie then please just tell me the truth...

Edit: Oh, and... I'm 15 years old... and I'm not sure when exactly they started changing sizes but I know they haven't always been so differently sized and I only first noticed it about 4 months ago. As far as I can tell they don't appear to have changed sizes since I first noticed...

actually Im going to go out and say your wrong on this one.
He is at te prime age for testicular cancer, or a hyrdrocel.
I just went through this shit with my 15 year old son, it started when he was 14 but neglected to mention it to anyone, a year later its the size of a grapefruit, never caused pain or discomfort. if your worried about your nuts, get em looked into. If not for a physical for school basketball, there could of been many serious problems arise from my sons one different sized nut, it started out slightly larger and continued to grow, and when we first were made aware of it, we were told it could be cancer. If you ever worry at all about your nutbag or think its not right, get it looked at by anyone who knows, like a doctor.

I agree. People often get worried about testicles being different sizes, and it's normal; but they don't usually think one is 20-25% the size of the other.

it sounds bad, I mean thats how my sons started out, and thats when most people get it found out and fixed, it could easily what ym son had and just not as developed as his was, a year is far to long to wait and see, a physical isnt too bad money wise even with out insurance, and could save the kids life or nut, or both. and hes at a prime age for testicular cancer. Young? You bet your ass and most cases of it come in young men ages 13 to 25 and the highest concentration in those men in puberty.its nothing to fuck around with, a noticeable size difference like that? Id do something right away. a physical to detrmine if there is a problem isnt even painful, easy way to get checked out and make sure shits fine.

I really prefered the first responce... lolAnd the pain comes in the form of embarrassment... quite a bit if it turns out it's nothing.I've already got a doctors appointment today to look at my toenail (it's ingrown,) would that be an appropriate time to ask him about it? I suppose a doctor is a doctor... I guess I'll just ask... and he can take a quick look at that too... and hopefully he'll just tell me that it's nothing but an extreme case of being asymetrical... like girls who have one breast 3 sizes larger than the other...

No, it was just a general doctor.He had a look and then put on some gloves and poked... and then he got his friend and they both poked... and then he said I should go to a urologist.Then as I was leaving he came and told me he wanted to show some other guy who had more experience. So I went back and saw him... he poked me a whole lot... asked a bunch of awkward questions ("when you masturbate- you do masturbate, right- you eject white stuff? No blood in there? Not rust colored?" That sort of stuff... the answer was "Yes, its white, no blood, no rust.")This guy told me to get an ultrasound... so I guess I'm doing that tomorrow morning. I hope it's nothing... they kept saying something about the sack being full of a liquid though... and they kept being confused when I told them there was no pain and as far as I could tell I had no difficulties with urinating (other than being shy peeing in a public bathroom...)Edit: They called it like... hydrosack or something... apparently it's more common in men ages 30-50... anyone know what it is? I think one of them mentioned the possibility of draining it (hopefully that won't require any incisions... although I'm willing to bet it will require at least a needle... I hate needles...)

Quote:Grvtykllr gave you the word "Hydrocele"Oh, I didn't realize someone else had already mentioned that exact same thing... it seems like someone else had brought up cancer...oh well, I think Grvtykllr is correct, the doctor told me it was Hydrocele.Good to know it's not very serious... that website made it sound like I won't need surgery or anything and that it'll just go away eventually...Edit:  Quote:He is at te prime age for testicular cancer, or a hyrdrocel.Wait, it was Grvtykllr that said it was cancer... I'm confused now. Is cancer and hyrdrocele the same thing?

He didnt say it was cancer (and no, theyre not the same thing), he just said youre at the prime age for it.A hydrocele is basically a fluid-filled sac. His son just had one and they caught it in the late stage; youre lucky you caught it early and identified it instead of getting panicked and mistaking it for cancer later.

I don't know if this will help or not, but here is the link to the post about Grvtykllr's son, who's situation was similiar to yours.

Alright... today I got an ultrasound of my nuts and kidneys. It was really awkward because it was a girl doing it... she tried covering me up while moving the sensor thing around and I think that made it take longer than it should have... plus it got the cream stuff that she put on the sensor all over my legs and it was a bit of a mess to clean up later...but that's over.And right after getting home I had to go and get my driving permit.So I guess bitter was mixed in with the sweet. On the bad side there's the fact I need surgery for a hydrocele (and I still need my ingrown toe-nail fixed but that's on the back burner for now... ) and on the other side I just got a driving permit .
