The cords behind my left testicle becomes hard sometimes,due to this the scrotum shrinks and the testicle comes up , it never gave me pain or discomfort , goes away after sometimes, is it torsion?

No, it is not torsion, that motion you observe is a cremasteric reflex. You just have an overactive cremaster muscle. There is no known cause for why the cremasteric reflex is exaggerated in certain boys.
