Not normal: Both testicles should have a similar consistency. Needs to checked by a urologist, especially if one testicle became harder as a new finding, or harder testis is larger than the other. Testicular calcifications (microlithiasis), tumor, lymphoma, leukemia are all remote possibilities. Scrotal ultrasound will provide the answer.
