Is it Normal for One Testicle to Be Lower Than the Other?

One of My Testicles Hangs Lower Than the Other. What Should I Do?

This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. The testicle (say: TESS-tih-kul) on either side may be slightly larger or hang lower. But be sure to tell a parent (who will let your doctor know) if you have any pain, swelling, or lumps in your testicles.
