The testis is a slightly flat oval body with smooth surface, divided into inner and outer sides, front and rear edges, and upper and lower ends.
The strength of sexual function is affected by many factors, such as psychology, disease, age, physique, etc. The most important one is sex hormone. The level of sex hormone in human body directly affects the strength of sexual function, even makes people lose their sexual function. In men, the sex hormone mainly comes from the testis.
The testicle has two functions:
One is to make sperm,
The second is to secrete sex hormones.
What is the relationship between testicular size and sexual function? Due to the influence of genetic quality, nutrition and other factors, the size of testes may vary from person to person, some are larger, some are smaller, but as long as they are within the normal range, they do not indicate the strength of sexual function. However, if the volume of a testicle is less than 12 cubic centimeters, it means that the testicle is stunted or atrophic.
In this kind of testis, spermatogenic cells are the most affected, so no sperm can be found in the semen, indicating that there is no fertility; However, sexual function can exist. If the testis is smaller than 6 cubic centimeters, it means that the interstitial cells in the testis that control the secretion of sex hormones are also affected. In clinic, to measure the function of testis, one is to test semen to see the number and vitality of semen; The second is to determine the content of the blood sex hormone testosterone.
There is a simple and reliable self-inspection method to measure the size of testicles. The specific method is to use testicular models with known different volumes and compare them with your own testicles one by one to know the volume of your testicles. Some people's testicles have hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis, which can cover up the true face of the testicles. In this case, you should check with a doctor, and if necessary, perform ultrasonic wave examination. In addition, testicular texture is also an indicator of testicular function. Normal testicles are hard and tough with some elasticity, and hard and inelastic. The possibility of tumor or fibrosis should be considered. Too soft testis indicates that internal tissue may be damaged and sexual function may also be affected.
