 Why My Testis Is Very Small?
The testes have two functions. Firstly, testosterone production takes place in the Leydig cells of the testes. Secondly, sperm cells are produced in the testes. the main factors of male’s fertility are production of testosterone and the production of spermatozoids, the sperm count. The testicles in an adult male typically measure about an inch wide and one and a half inches long.
One may be slightly larger.
Typically, one hangs lower in the scrotum than the other -- Mother Nature's way of preventing an uncomfortable squeeze when a man's legs are close together.
If your testicles are significantly smaller or larger a visit to a urologist is called for. Your doctor can help reassure you by ruling out endocrine or other serious health problems such as infections or tumors.
While you are at the urologist you might have him do a sperm count and discuss with you your concerns about fertility.
If your doctor doesn't suggest it, ask how to do a testicular exam. That way you can become familiar with your genitals in their normal state and be alert to even minor changes should they arise.
