What Does Low Hanging Testicles Indicate?

My 11 yr old son was kicked in the crutch a few weeks ago and I have now noticed that his testicles seem to be hanging extremely low (lower than they have ever been before). He says they are not painful at all and there is no discolouration in them at all. Should this be a concern for me or is this normal at 11.

Hi...testicles hanging far or near to the body will depend on the ambient temperature changes. If the ambient temperature is hot then the testicles will be hanging far from the abdomen and if the ambient temperature is cool then they will be more nearer to the abdomen.

As there is no pain or discoloration, I do not think it is related to the injury.
