What is the cause of enlarged testicles in newborns?

The testicles of a normal person are not equal in size, but the difference is not too big. Generally, the right testicle is slightly larger than the left one. If the child's testicles have always been symmetrical (or the right side is slightly larger than the left side) and have not increased significantly recently, then this is normal. On the contrary, if one side of the child's testicle suddenly increases significantly, then you should pay attention. In addition, you need to pay attention to the baby's development! The size and swelling during the growth stage! If the child's testicles are one larger than the other since he was very young, and the difference is obvious, it is mostly caused by congenital diseases, such as congenital unilateral testicular hypoplasia; the mumps virus can destroy the epithelial cells of the seminiferous tubules in the testicles, which is also one of the important reasons for causing testicles to be one larger than the other.

Some people also mistake other lesions in the scrotum for one testicle being larger than the other. For example, hydrocele is actually just a water bag around the testicle that wraps the testicle, not the enlargement of the testicle itself.
