Boy puberty...help!

[Traveller]

So I spoke to the boy and discussed how one side is a fair bit bigger. He's not worried but wouldn't let me check. He did let dh have a feel though and it feels like the other side, just bigger. There's no pain or redness. We had a chat about the importance of self checking and letting myself or dh know if there is any pain or if lumps appear. Other than that I guess I'll keep a subtle eye and if the other one doesn't catch up within a few months then I'll broach the subject again.

Hmmmm, he's a bit young to be starting to change like that I would have thought? I know the testes can change in size, but it seems sudden. It could just be early development, and be nothing, but I think keeping an eye on things would be best.

Yes this! Dr Google says it can be the first sign of puberty though, and 9 is the lowest age for normal male puberty. I've also posted before about my suspicions he would be early, mainly his shy interest in girls that seems to have changed slightly from his innocent early girlfriend relationships.
