Testicle size
Are two inch long testicles normal?
Yes, two inch long testicles are perfectly normal. The average male testicle is approximately 5 cm, or 2 inches in length. The size of your testicles is genetically determined.
Average size of testicles
The average testicle is 5cm x 2cm x 3 cm. This means that an average testicle is 2 inches in length, 0.7 inches in width and 1.1 inches in breadth.
One testicle is larger
If one of your testicles is slightly larger than the other, do not worry because this is normal.
One testicle hangs lower than the other
Also remember that one testicle normally hangs lower than the other.
Variations in testicular size
Finally, remember that 5cm x 2cm x 3cm is the average size of the male testicle. Slight variations to the average. If a person has testicles which are slightly smaller or larger, there is no need to be worried. Testicular size is determined by genetics and should not be a cause of concern unless the size suddenly changes.
If the size or your testicles has suddenly changed, then you need to visit your doctor to make sure that you are not suffering from an underlying disease.
