A member asked:
Why do one of the testicles goes upper than the other after orchidopexy for testicular torsion? and after 6-8 weeks does it really goes down to the level as the other?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One testicle can be lower than the other normally. Wear a good support underwear and you will be fine.
