Research by Italian scientists indicates that having very large sex glands is not a good thing for the heart.

A study of 3,000 men
The study was conducted on 3,000 male subjects. Their average age was 51 years old. Concretely, if you are wondering, the bursae are measured using the orchidometer, a device which allows you to estimate their volume, generally between 1 and 25 ml.

A link between large testicles and heart risks
Researchers have established a statistical link between larger testicular volumes, cardiovascular disease and the risk of hospitalization. This risk is higher for those with large testicles.

A hormonal phenomenon
Researchers put forward the hypothesis that a hormone is responsible for the phenomenon: luteinizing hormone. Men with larger testicles have more diabetes or tend to suffer from obesity, two pathologies that reduce testosterone levels to increase luteinizing hormone levels. However, the latter would put more strain on the testicular cells, which would have a harmful effect on the cardiovascular system…

So gentlemen, when it comes to size, unlike what is required for the penis, it is better to have medium or small testicles. You will have a better chance of preserving your heart.
