1. What are testicles? What is low testicle high side?

The testicles are a pair of organs that produce sperm to maintain the health of the male reproductive system. The testicles are oval in shape and are contained inside a pouch of skin called the scrotum. The scrotum hangs on the outside of the body, in front of the pelvis and near the thighs. Although this position makes the testicles vulnerable because they do not have muscle or bone to cover. However, without muscle or bone covering, the testicles usually have a lower temperature, creating a cooler environment for healthy sperm production.
The structure inside the testicles is important for the storage and production of sperm until they are mature enough to ejaculate. The testicles produce the hormone testosterone. This hormone is responsible for sex drive, fertility, and the development of muscle and bone mass.
One side high and one low testicle or testicle deviation is a condition in which the testicles are different in size, large and small, or high and low.
If the testicle is deviated and there are no other symptoms, this is just normal. On the contrary, if the testicle is deviated from high to low along with other symptoms such as testicular pain, swelling of the scrotum, redness or cyanosis... you need to see a doctor promptly to avoid dangerous complications that affect your health.

2. Causes of low testicles on the high side

Why do testicles deviate from high to low? This is not an uncommon condition and many men feel anxious. However, not everyone is confident to go to a gynecologist. Here are the causes of low testicles:
Natural causes: Many men have had two testicles low and high right from an early age. However, for the most part, the difference is not very clear. As for congenital causes, you do not need to worry too much because this has almost no effect on your reproductive health. Injured testicle: When the testicle is injured, it will bleed, leading to anemia, shrinking and smaller compared to the other side that is not damaged. Therefore, it can cause a low testicle on one side. The scrotum is too wide: The skin of the scrotum is usually just enough to cover both testicles. However, if the scrotum is too wide for the size of the seminal vesicles, it can lead to low testicles. Complications of mumps: Mumps is a disease with many complications that affect fertility. In particular, complications caused by the mumps virus can cause high and low testicles. Temperature: When wearing clothes that are too tight, heat will cause the testicles to sag, leading to a condition where the testicles are deviated from the high side to the lower side.

3. Risk of low testis on one side

When looking into the causes of low testicles, we can see a few risk factors affecting male reproductive health. So what's wrong with the high side and the low side? If for congenital causes, people do not need to worry too much. However, if there are other causes, the patient should see a doctor for timely treatment.
One-sided high testicle low side can warn of the risk of some conditions such as:
Hydrocephalus: This is a condition in which fluid accumulates in the scrotum causing the left or right testicle to swell and cause size difference. Testicular torsion: This disease causes one testicle to become swollen and painful. Testicular torsion is very dangerous because it interferes with blood flow to the testicles. If not treated in time can leave many serious consequences, especially testicular necrosis. Orchitis: The lower testicle can be a symptom of orchitis. Orchitis is mainly caused by the bacteria or virus that causes mumps. It is also the most common cause of this disease in men. Cysts: Benign cysts develop when the epididymis is injured or as a complication of epididymitis, an inflammation of the testicles that causes the two testicles to become misaligned. Varicose veins of the testicles: Varicose veins can affect the blood supply to both testicles. This is the cause of the testicles getting bigger and bigger, which can deviate to one side. Undescended testicle: This is a congenital abnormality of the genital organs in boys. One or both testicles are not located in the scrotum but are located somewhere from the abdomen to the scrotum. It is this that is responsible for the apparent size difference of the testicles. Mumps: When infected, the virus attacks the epithelial cells of the seminiferous tubules and causes a condition in which both testes are high and low. Without early treatment, men can become infertile. Testicular cancer: Testicular cancer is curable but must be detected early. However, the different stages of this cancer are often silent and difficult to detect. Therefore, when you see a difference between the two testicles, pain or swelling in the scrotum, you need to see a doctor immediately. Because, these could be symptoms caused by melanoma. Any abnormality in the body is a warning of a certain health condition. Men who notice that the testicles are high and low should go to reputable medical facilities, hospitals, and clinics for examination. Because this condition can be a sign of a dangerous disease, affecting the sexual ability of men in the future.
