    Question

    One of my testicles doesn't hang as low as the other and I was wondering if its possible that it didn't drop like the other because i sometimes feel pain in it.

    Answer

    It is totally normal to have the testicles hang at different levels. They can also move up and down on their cord, depending on temperature, activity, stress. As long as the testicles are in the scrotum, there is nothing to worry about.
