When do testicles start and stop growing? A male's testicle is about 1 cubic centimeter at birth and stays around that size until the testicles start growing about age 8. Then they grow steadily, reaching their adult size some time during puberty.

Read More »The testicles are oval-shaped organs covered by a pouch of skin called the scrotum. They’re also referred to as the testes. The testicles are held in place by spermatic cords, which are made of muscle and connective tissue. The testicles’ main job is to produce sperm and the hormone testosterone. Normally, each testicle is about 2 inches long, though it’s not unusual for one testicle to be slightly larger than the other. They start to grow around age 8 and continue to grow until the end of puberty. Large testicles size If your testicles grew to a larger than average size, you may experience no health-related issues or other complications. But one 2013 study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine suggested that larger testicle volume is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. The study didn’t explain the possible connection, though. More research is needed to better understand this possible relationship. Having large testicles is also associated with greater sperm production and higher levels of testosterone, as well as higher levels of aggression. Conversely, other research suggests smaller testicles are associated with lower levels of sperm production. Researchers have also found that men with smaller testicles tend to be more nurturing fathers. On average, they also have lower levels of testosterone. Precautions for testicle growth in adulthood If your testicles appear to have grown larger, it could be the result of swelling caused by a medical issue. Some of these issues are minor and temporary. Others may be serious enough to require surgery. Testicular cancer may be the most well-known condition affecting the testicles, but it’s only one of several possible explanations for growth or swelling in that area. If you have concerns about your testicles or any aspect of your reproductive health, see a urologist. A urologist is a doctor who specializes in the urinary tract (for men and women) and the male reproductive system. You may be in perfect health, but having reassurance from a physician may provide some peace of mind. As you age, your testicles may grow smaller (atrophy) somewhat. Your scrotum may hang lower than it did when you were younger. These are normal changes. But if you notice other changes to the size or feel of your testicles or scrotum, get a doctor’s evaluation to rule out any possible health conditions. Big scrotum causes In addition to protecting the testicles, the scrotum also serves as a means of maintaining an optimal temperature for sperm production. When the testicles are too warm or too cool, the quality of the sperm they make suffers. As a result, the scrotum changes shape and size in response to temperature changes. When taking a hot shower, you may notice your scrotum hangs lower to be surrounded by more air and avoid overheating. When it’s cold out, the scrotum pulls upward toward the body to help keep the testes warmer. If your scrotum seems larger than normal or if it seems to have become swollen recently, see your doctor. Here are some conditions that can cause scrotal swelling: Hydrocele A hydrocele is a buildup of fluid around the testicles that causes the scrotum to swell. It can occur from: an injury within the scrotum
