Is it normal for the scrotum to contain only two soft testicles?

Patient's question:

Inside the scrotum, besides the two testicles, there is a group of soft things that can be felt on the left side. They are not tube-like and seem to be connected to the testicles. The appearance of the scrotum is also normal. The testicles are of uniform size and height, and there is no sensation. I haven't noticed this before. Is this a normal phenomenon? I'm very worried it might be a disease.

Doctor's answer:

Inside the testicles, there is an epididymis, but generally it cannot be felt. Only the testicles can be touched. If there is pain and a feeling of fullness or discomfort, it is recommended to have a color Doppler ultrasound of both testicles to check for epididymitis and hydrocele. For testicular patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
