    Tangled testicle?
    Ok well the other night I noticed that my left testicle felt like it was not in its normal position kind of like it was upside down and tangled in the vains or whatever is attached to it, Is this possible it doesn't hurt or anything just kind of concerns me and wondering if I should go to it checked out.

    Thanks

    Yeah I think ill get my mother to call the doctor. But I still would like to know what it could be and stuff. It could take a few weeks before she can get me in to see my doctor.

    There is a condition called retractile testis, when it goes upwards from the Scrotum (that's what the skin covering the testis is called) and there's another condition called Varicocoele when the veins surrounding the testis get dilated and slackened...
    But whatever it is, it's better to show your doctor.
    Also, be on guard for any pain, because that's when you would need to see a doctor in the ER and not wait for an appointment with your regular doctor.

    OK thanks so much for your answer ill get my mom to call the doctor.
    There hasn't really been any pain I just found it odd that my left testicle felt like its not hanging as low as the other one and feels like its flipped upside down I really hope its nothing really serious I suffer from really bad anxiety

    Well, I took a "quick" flip through some of my books on medical conditions and what not, but I can't find anything that warns of this issue. Still, it seems to me that really the worries you may think of are, the tubes that supply the sperm a way out may be blocked, don't have sex in other words. Also, I'm not sure really, but if there are blood vessels in there it could cause potential issues with lack of blood reaching the testical.
    If it starts to hurt, I would not think for one second, I'd just go straight to Emergency.

    Take care.
