Such as testicular hydrocele, in fact, there is only a water sac around the testicle to wrap the testicle, not the testicle itself is enlarged, and some people mistake indirect inguinal hernia, varicocele, epididymal tuberculosis, epididymitis, etc. for testicular enlargement, because these diseases sometimes show that one side of the scrotum is larger than the other side.

Testicular injury: unilateral testicular trauma can cause testicular hemorrhage and hematoma, resulting in insufficient testicular blood supply and gradual atrophy, which is significantly smaller than the lateral testicular trauma. Mumps virus can destroy the epithelial cells of seminiferous tubules in testis, which is also one of the important causes of testicular enlargement and testicular diminution.
