Why does the testicle sag with one side higher than the other?

If the testicle is sagging and one side is higher than the other, it may be cryptic testis or contracted testis, which is often caused by congenital growth and development abnormalities and is more common in children under 6 years old. If there is scrotal tightness on one side, consider the possibility of cryptic testis. If the testicle can be touched sometimes, sometimes, but not in an emergency, or the two sides are different, consider contracted testis. It is recommended to go to a specialist clinic for examination or do a B-ultrasound examination to rule it out.

It may also be varicose veins, which is more common in young men and is often seen on the left side. The left testicle is lower, and the right is normal. Varicose veins cause the scrotum to sag and the testicles to descend, resulting in unequal testicles. At this time, in addition to the unequal testicles, blood vessels or masses can be touched in the scrotum, which is generally painless. It is recommended to perform B-ultrasound examination of the varicose veins to determine whether there is varicose veins.

Testicular torsion, when one side of the testicle is twisted, the part is pulled up, and the normal part is loose. At this time, the parts are not even, and there may be pain in the testicle and scrotum or groin on the pulled up side, and the pain gradually worsens over time. This condition is an outpatient clinic of urology and needs to be seen immediately. Ask a professional doctor to check and perform a color Doppler examination of the spermatophore to rule out spermatophore torsion or testicular torsion.

What is the disease when one side of a male testicle is higher than the other?

The male testicle is a key male reproductive organ. During the fetal stage, the male testicle is located in the kidney area of ​​the waist. During the whole process of baby development, the male testicle gradually descends to the scrotum. Normal testicles are located at the bottom of the scrotum and can move to a certain extent. In clinical medicine, one side of the male testicle is higher than the other side. It is more common in cryptic testis, that is, one side of the male testicle or both sides of the male testicle cannot descend to the bottom of the scrotum, and surgery is required. Key injuries to cryptic testicles affect the growth and development of male testicles, and then affect pregnancy; patients with cryptic testicles have a higher risk of testicular tumors and malignant tumors than ordinary people. This disease must be treated promptly and immediately, and it is strongly recommended to be treated before the age of 2.
