At 55 years old, a high and low testicle may be a normal physiological phenomenon, and may also be caused by varicocele, orchitis, testicular torsion and other factors.
1. Normal physiological phenomenon: under normal circumstances, the size and height of testicles on both sides of the male are slightly different, but the difference is not particularly obvious, it is usually difficult to see without careful observation, as long as there are no other abnormalities, there is no need to worry too much.
2. Varicose veins: when suffering from varicose veins, the blood flow to the testicles on the affected side is obstructed, which may cause the testicles to swell, resulting in the testicles being high and low, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as scrotal swelling and pain.
3. Testiculitis: It may be related to bacterial infection. When the infection is serious, it may cause damage to the local structure, resulting in the swelling of the testicle on the affected side, which will make the testicle on the affected side higher than the other side, and is accompanied by testicular pain, redness, swelling and other symptoms.
4. Testicular torsion: it may be related to poor posture, usually acute attack, which will lead to one side of the testicle is too high and the other side is too low, and accompanied by severe pain, if not handled in time, it will also lead to ischemic necrosis of the testicle on the affected side.
At the age of 55, one testicle is too high and one is too low, accompanied by other obvious abnormal symptoms, excluding physiological factors, it is recommended to consult a doctor for appropriate examination and treatment.
