The testicles are located inside the scrotum, one on each side, with the left side slightly lower than the right side by 1 centimeter. The testicle is an important male sexual organ that can secrete male hormones and sperm, and can be said to be the fundamental organ of men. However, some people suffer from testicular cancer, testicular damage, or testicular concealment, with only one testicle in males, which does not affect sexual activity.
Does having only one egg in a man affect sexual activity?
The body has paired organs such as kidneys and lungs, which share common characteristics. When an organ loses function or is damaged, another normal organ assumes the corresponding function, and its own volume is large and its function is enhanced, it is called compensatory hypertrophy. In fact, the testicles are also like this. It's not just a testicle. As long as the other party is healthy and normal, it can still function as both testicles without affecting performance. Some men are concerned that having only one testicle can affect fertility and require specific analysis based on the situation. The testicles are the place where sperm is produced, with only one side having a healthy testicle, and the probability of male infertility is quite high. Fertility cannot be evaluated solely based on the presence of some testes. Taking varicocele as an example, when one party is sick, adverse factors such as metabolic products are transmitted to the healthy party, causing male infertility. Timely removal of one testicular disease does not affect the healthy side, while compensatory enlargement of the other testicle has little impact on fertility.
What is the reason for having only one testicle?
1. Testicular tumor
Testicles, like other organs, may develop tumors. When suffering from testicular tumors, surgical removal is necessary to avoid irreversible damage to the body.
2. Testicular disease
Testicular disease is also known as incomplete testicular descent. It is a common urinary system disease in childhood, often found on one side, with a higher incidence on the right side than on the left side. During childhood development, the lumbar peritoneum testis does not fully enter the scrotum. Once cryptorchidism is discovered, it is necessary to choose a reputable hospital for surgery or hormone treatment. Before the age of 3, if cryptorchidism is not completely cured, it may lead to incomplete testicular development and even loss of testicles.
3. Testicular torsion
Testicular torsion is an acute testicular disease that is more common in males aged 20-25. Long lasting testicular torsion can cause testicular ischemia or necrosis, in which case the testicles need to be removed. Therefore, when unexplained pain occurs in the testicles, immediate examination and treatment must be carried out to avoid irreversible damage to the testicles.
