Question

Answer
Burhan:

Usually, the testicles move together based on temperature and other factors. They should either both go up or both go down. I cannot explain your situation from the available information. Since you are having pain, it may be worth checking with a urologist just to make sure. It seems unlikely that this would cause any problem with future conjugal life.
