hi, a while back i had pain in my testicles and being a teenager it's hard to say this to your parents but i did. I went to the doctors and he said it was all fine but about 2-3 months later i was back becasue i couldnt get my mind at rest about the case. He sent me to get a ultrasound to put my mind at rest and the ultrasound went fine with no problems. But now again about 6 months later i have a new problem! my right testicle feels bigger than my left but as far as i can remember has always been this way. I dont want to go through all that again because im sure im fine but im just getting paranoid! can anyone help me with a way to get my mind at rest once and for all?

It's Definitely normal, Being a curious Teen Guy, I have read many books on puberty, and They are like that so that they don't squish each other when you walk, 'cause that would hurt like hell!

This is absolutely normal. It is very common for one testicle to be somewhat larger than the other. Also, one will hang lower than the other.
The first link includes instructions for the TSE - testicular self exam. It tells how to check your testicles and what to look/feel for.
"Each testicle should feel firm but not hard, and the surface should be very smooth, without any lumps or bumps. The spongy, tubelike structure (epididymis) may be felt on the top and down the back side of each testicle. One testicle (usually the left) may hang slightly lower than the other, and one testicle may be slightly larger than the other. This difference is usually normal." (second link, third page at the link)

you are completely normal. there is and always will be a slight difference in the size of your testicles.
women have the same issue with there breasts.
unless you have a significant size difference (like one golfball size and one baseball size) you should be okay. you can also find information on how to do a self examination from you dr or on the net.

Yep--you're normal. Now if your right penis is bigger than your left penis---you need to see a doctor......quickly.

unless one is the size of a baseball and the other the size of a ping pong ball, you're cool... both your feet and your hands are not exactly the same size either...
I'm assuming you are not in any pain...

Try drinking margaritas 3x per day. This always helps me to relax. Try the coconut margarita at Garduno's. If you don't have one in your town, go to Vegas there one there!! Good luck.

Do your balls hang low? As long as they hang low and don't hurt, be cool.
