Bell clapper deformity by itself is not an urgent problem. It requires surgery if the specific position of the testes predisposes them to torsion. A Urologist is your best option to discuss this problem. Make sure they know exactly how this deformity affects you and ask them to assess your risk of torsion.

Bell clapper deformity is over diagnosed and by itself will not cause harm. Best is to wear a good scrotal support. Dont let it affect you negatively. Millions of people have it and dont know about it and lead normal lives.
