What is the cause of testicular ptosis and loose scrotal skin? Is it serious?

Patient's question:

I recently noticed that my testicles are somewhat bent, and the testicular skin is loose. What is the matter with the testicles being droopy and the skin loose? Is it urgent?

Doctor's answer:

This should be nothing serious, as the scrotum naturally expands in heat and contracts in cold. The condition mentioned might be due to hot weather or wearing too many clothes, which is normal. In this case, as long as there is no swelling in the testicles, no pain, or no sense of fullness in the lower abdomen, it does not require treatment. If necessary, a scrotal ultrasound can be done to rule out conditions such as orchitis, epididymitis, or varicocele. For patients with urological conditions, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
