Ok. So, I'm just a bit worried about this. My left testicle, is bigger than my right. Is it testicular cancer? Is it a disease? Is it just a malfunction with my body growth?

No, for most people it is normal. Most people after starting puberty will have one testicle that is bigger than the other. However, if you feel pain while doing anything then it would be a good idea to get it checked out, otherwise it is completely normal.

Ha. What I meant is when you start puberty one may be bigger than the other. Unless it grew overnight, or if it is like 50% bigger than the other one you have nothing to worry about.

Testicular cancer can be checked by moving the testicle around between your index and thumb. If there is a hard lump that feels like a bruise when touched, that could be testicular cancer. Also, it's best to check after a shower/bath when your scrotum is more relaxed. What you have sounds normal, and it probably won't last forever.

Its normal not to be symmetrical, one testicle will be a bit bigger than the other or might hang lower than the other. But not like a huge difference in size. If you're worried then get it checked out, better to be embarassed for 2 minutes than to be worrying endlessly.

If it's just slightly bigger - then it's all normal. Unless it's totally huge in comparison then yeah.

i was born with out a left testicle but i do know the answer to your question.
most boys and men have one testicle larger than the other. in most cases the
left testicle is a little bit larger than the right. to make sure what i say is true check the inter net - or ask your friends which testicle hangs lower - u will find the left. one.
if u r in some kind of testicle pain of course c a doctor. t/c run in my family and it is some thing not to take lightly --
