Normal Testicle Size in Men Aged 60: What to Expect

Testicular volume in a 60-year-old man typically ranges from 15–25 mL (cc) per testis, measured by orchidometer or ultrasound.

Important Considerations

• Wide individual variation exists; "normal" is a broad range.
• Age-related atrophy is common—testes gradually decrease in volume and firmness after 50–60.
• Asymmetry is normal (one often slightly larger, usually right).
• Volume <12 mL suggests atrophy; >30 mL may indicate tumor or hydrocele.

When to Seek Evaluation

• Noticeable shrinkage, hardness, lump, or pain.
• New asymmetry.
• Associated symptoms: gynecomastia, loss of libido, erectile dysfunction (may indicate hormonal change).

A urologist can perform exam, ultrasound, and hormone panel (testosterone, LH, FSH) if concerned. Self-exam monthly is recommended for all adult men.
