OK gesture self-test testicular health

Testicular is a man's "diamond". It produces sperm and secretes androgen, which is the foundation of his life. In the eyes of most men, the bigger the testicles, the stronger the sexual ability. Actually, this is a one-sided view. Male experts said that the size of testicles has a normal range, and men can check for themselves.

1. Testicular size

According to a study published by the attending surgeon Huang Zhixian, there is a simple detection method, which is to make an "OK" gesture with the thumb and forefinger. Specific test method: Men can cover their testicles with two fingers in a circle. If it is loose or can't be inserted at all, it means that the testis is not normal in size. You'd better go to the hospital for a checkup.

2. Testicular volume

Generally speaking, the testicular size of adult males in China is about 15-23 ml, and the difference between the two testicles is less than 2 ml. Less than 12 ml, suggesting testicular dysplasia or atrophy. If the testicular volume is abnormally increased, it may be testicular seminal vesicle or tumor, or it may affect testicular function.

3. Testicular position

In addition to size, the position of testicles is also a problem that needs attention. If the position is too high, it is located in the groin or even the abdomen, and the testicular function will be affected.

4. Testicular texture

At the same time, normal testicles are hard and elastic. Hard and inflexible, or too soft, indicating that the internal organization may be damaged.

It is suggested that men check their testicles once a month so as to find problems as soon as possible and receive treatment.
