How to determine whether the testicles are developing normally

1. Dimensional measurement method

This method is not limited by conditions and the results are correct, but it takes 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. Testicular model comparison method

Also known as 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

This is an early method of use. 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.

Generally speaking, testicular size is within the normal range, endocrine function is normal, and it does not affect sexual activity. Clinical investigations have found that it is also rare for individuals with testicular size less than 8 days to have their function affected. So, generally don't worry too much about the testicles.

What foods are beneficial for male testicles?

1. Food containing arginine

Arginine is a necessary component for sperm formation, and frequent consumption of foods containing arginine can help to tonify the kidneys and nourish sperm. This type of food has a smooth texture, and foods rich in arginine include eel, bass, loach, sea cucumber, cuttlefish, octopus, silkworm pupa, chicken, frozen tofu, seaweed, peas, etc.

2. Animal viscera

Contains a large amount of cholesterol, which is an important component of synthetic sex hormones. In addition, it also contains adrenaline and sex hormones, which can promote the division and maturation of spermatogonium. Therefore, consuming animal organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and intestines in moderation is beneficial for increasing the level of androgens in the body, increasing semen secretion, and improving sexual function.

3. Zinc containing foods
