Dear grow123,

This is normal — most men's testes (testicles) hang unevenly to protect them from being crushed between the legs. It's also normal for one testicle to be slightly larger than the other. However, if one testicle is swollen or has recently grown larger than the other, talk with your health care provider about getting evaluated for testicular cancer, which most commonly affects men between the ages of 15 and 39.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
