How do i know if i have a bell clapper deformity? it seems like i can move my testicles around more than i should be able to
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Testicular deformity: Failure of normal posterior anchoring leaves the testis free to swing and rotate within the scrotum like the gong (clapper) inside of a bell. It is fairly common. Twisting of the testis on the axis of the spermatic cord is called spermatic cord torsion and is usually painful and can result in loss of the testicle. Your self exam is unreliable, so discuss with your doctor who may get ultrasound
