      In the adult testicles, production occurs all the time sperm , Adults can produce 300-600 sperm per gram of testicular tissue per second, and hundreds of millions of sperm can be produced by both testicles every day. There are a large number of curved seminiferous tubules in the testis, which contain Leydig cells. The seminiferous tubules are where sperm are produced, and the number of sperm produced in a lifetime can reach more than 1 trillion.

      The right testicle is relatively heavy

      normal male There are two testicles, located on the left and right sides of the scrotum, oval and gray-white. Generally the left side is 1 cm lower than the right side. The testicles of the famous Italian statue of David clearly demonstrate this characteristic. Adult testicles are 3.5-4.5 cm long, 2-3 cm wide, and 1-2 cm thick. The average mass of the left testicle of an adult male is 10.20 grams, while the right testicle is relatively heavier, with an average mass of 10.70 grams.

      Male testicles begin to shrink after the age of 50

      The testicles of newborns are relatively large and shrink approximately 1-2 months after birth. Before sexual maturity, the testicles are basically in a static state and develop rapidly after puberty. Around the age of 50, it gradually shrinks and becomes smaller.

      Sperm is produced in the adult testicles all the time. Adults can produce 300-600 sperm per gram of testicular tissue per second. Bilateral testicles can produce hundreds of millions of sperm every day. It is also a male contraceptive method that controls sperm production than inhibits female One of the reasons why ovulation is so much more difficult. The testicles produce at least 1 trillion sperm in a lifetime.
