I've noticed that my left testicle is quite a bit larger than the right one. The left one is around the size of an egg, while the right is more like a 2 rupee coin. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be an issue? Please help me figure this out.

It's important to monitor any changes in the size of your testicles, even without pain. A significant size difference could be due to various factors, such as a varicocele, hydrocele, or other conditions. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical examination and possibly an ultrasound to ensure everything is fine.
