Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have read your query and here is my advise.
* As per my clinical experience, size discrepancy between testicles may be related to - Physiological difference.
- Varicocele ( enlarged , dilated veins ).
- Lump as Epididymal Cyst
- Testicular Tumor.
Kindly give further details so that I can answer your query more precisely.
1. Is there pain in testicles ?
2. Can you feel any different type lump on either size of scrotum ?
3. Do you feel more discomfort when standing ?
4. Is pelvic pain persistent or intermittent?

Awaiting for your response.
