Question
hi, i'm kind of worried about my testicle size. Do smaller testicles mean that i wont be able to have children later in life?
Answer

Not necessarily. There is a wide range of "normal" for testicular size. Furthermore, for many men the testicles are not through growing until age 18. If you see your doctor for a checkup, I encourage you to voice your concern so that (s)he can check you and very likely be able to reassure you.
