Is it normal for one testicle to be erect while the other is lying flat?

Patient's question:

A testicle hangs, one lies flat like an egg, with a slight sensation of dropping downward

Doctor's answer:

This needs to be considered as varicocele, which is also a common surgical disease, accompanied by discomfort such as a cool and aching testicle. It is recommended to have a thorough examination in the surgical department of the hospital. If it is varicocele, surgical treatment can be performed, and this is a minor surgery, so do not be nervous. Timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect your health condition. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
