If u just had a recent ultrasound and if your blood flow was good and if they aren't twisted I would get another opinion. My son is 8 and had his testicles sewn to his sack (excuse my language) but the only. Reason I agreed to it was to ensure my son wouldn't be a teenager and having to deal with testicular pain plus I wanted to make sure he wasn't going to have any complication that would affect him having kids.
there are few reasons for a n assymetry in the testicles apart of a normal anatomical variation.
I f you have any signs of infection, a solid mass lesion or any fluid within the scrotal sac, these may require surgical treatment. since your ultrasound of the scrotum is normal, i would think that there is no cause to worry and you can leave it alone. I f you think there has been a significant change in size since then, you may get a repeat ultrasound of your scrotum done
