Brief Answer: There is nothing to be worried about. Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you sustained injury to your Rt testicle one month back and have noticed that you Rt testicle is slightly at lower level than Left and placed slightly behind compared to left one . Please note that it is natural in every individual to have one testicle (most of the time) Rt one to be at lower than Left testicle .As regards position of the testicle it is always asymmetrical on both the sides and does not have any significance as far as function of the testicle is concerned. Please do not worry about it as both the testicles are reported to be normal on ultrasound scanning . Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you Thanks and Regards. Dr.Patil.
