Hello!
Usually the left testis is located at a lower level than right testis . You might have an illusion about its big size. Ask for associated symptoms of pain , redness of scrotum and swelling in inguinal region.Ask for any diurnal variation in size of scrotum . It may be associated with congenital hydrocele.
