My right testicle is going upwards and left downwards after using dutasteride a year ago. Is it normal?

Question

Hi, Yes. It is common for guys to have slightly different size testicles. Usually, the right testicle is larger than the left. Also, one testicle (usually the left) often hangs lower than the other. Below are the abnormal conditions about testis: Fluid collecting in an area surrounding a testicle, a condition known as a hydrocele. Infection, such as from a virus or a sexually transmitted disease (STD) like chlamydia Inguinal hernia. That's a condition in which a part of the intestines pushes into the groin or scrotum through an abnormal opening or a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Injury to the testicles, such as from being kicked, hit, or crushed. Swelling in a vein that drains blood away from a testicle, a condition called varicocele. Testicular cancer. Testicular torsion, an extremely painful condition that occurs when a testicle gets twisted. Once consult a doctor he can examine physically and test scrotum scan can reveals the exact reason then you take treatment accordingly.
