What if one testical is higher than the other?

Someone at school asked DaDudes this guy question and we all laughed and said, "it's normal bro, it's normal".  One of DaDudes said, "it will drop after teenage years". 

What is the truth?

According to the biology text book the left testicle is always lower than the right one because the left spermatic cord has increased length.  Look at the diagram...

The Spermatic Cord is the pink-coloured thing.  It's a cord-like structure that holds the testicles and contains the arteries, veins, nerves, and lymphatic vessels.  It also contains the vas deferens (the duct that transports the sperm from the epididymis to the penis).

So the left testical is lower cos the left cord is longer than the right side.


We did a google search and found that there could be some medical problems if the testical is getting higher and higher or if there is pain so you should go to the doctor if this is happening.  You should tell your parents too. 

Don't be ashamed to tell someone if you are worried 'cos you wanna get it sorted before it's too late.  You don't wanna wait until the doctor can't help you.
