For most people, the focus on the genitalia is mainly on the issue of penis size, and few people place as much importance on testicular size. The male friends who are most concerned about testicular size in clinical practice are only those who have not been able to have children for many years after marriage. Due to being informed of male infertility, many men ask whether their testicles are fully developed. In order to make more male friends or normal people understand this common sense, the following is an answer to the relevant questions. Introduce several commonly used inspection methods:
1。 The caliper measurement method is not limited by conditions, and the results are more accurate, but it takes more time. When measuring, use a caliper to measure the length, width, and thickness of the testicles, and calculate the volume of the testicles according to the formula.
Testicular volume (ml)=length diameter (cm) × Width diameter (cm) × Thickness diameter (cm) × six
2。 The testicular model comparison method is also known as the quantum comparison method. Based on the pre calculated volume, create oval shaped hard objects with different volumes and similar testicular shapes, with size labels ranging from 1 to 25 days. During the measurement, raise the testicles, tighten the scrotal skin, and compare the measuring piece (i.e. testicular model, purchased in the medical machinery market) with the testicles. The measuring piece volume that is similar in size to the testicles can be considered as the testicular volume.
3。 Drainage measurement method is an early method used. When measuring, pull down the measured testicles, take warm water (around 25 ℃) and place it in a graduated container, and completely immerse the pulled down testicles in the water. The milliliter increase in water volume after soaking the testicles is used as the volume of the testicles. Due to the inconvenience of clinical use, this method is rarely used nowadays.
Normal males have significant differences in testicular volume, and there are also certain differences in testicular volume on both sides of the same individual. Therefore, the measured results are for reference only. The judgment of testicular development status and fertility should be combined with other examination results, and a comprehensive analysis conclusion should be made.
The testicular volume (size measurement method) of Chinese adult males is (13.1 ± 3.6) ml on the left side and (13.6 ± 4.2) ml on the right side at the age of 19-23, (13.6 ± 4.2) ml on the left side and (14.4 ± 4.5) ml on the right side at the age of 24-45. The above is for reference only.
Generally speaking, testicular size is within the normal range, endocrine function is normal, and it does not affect sexual activity.
