My right testicle is more forward than the left in the ultrasound. Is this a normal finding?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern, as you have urinary tract infection and problems with testicles let us discuss both the aspects one by one. Urinary tract infection means you have a bacterial infection anywhere in your genitourinary system that is anywhere in kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, prostate or urethra. You should get these three tests done to precisely diagnose the location and the bacterial organism causing that infection. The tests are ultrasound of prostate and KUB (Kidney, ureter and bladder), Urine complete analysis and Urine culture and sensitivity.

Urine culture and sensitivity will reveal which particular bacteria is causing infection and most importantly it will enable us to know that to which particular antibiotics this bacteria is sensitive to. Once you get this culture and sensitivity report you can either consult your doctor or else you can send me a scanned copy of your report so that I can prescribe you the appropriate antibiotic course along with dose and duration for which antibiotics and other drugs to take. I would strongly advise you not to take any antibiotic blindly on hit and trial basis, it can cause more harm than a benefit so get the culture and sensitivity test and only after that start taking antibiotics.

As you have mentioned doppler USG (ultrasound) of the testicles was normal, you should not worry about the visible veins. Veins are very superficially located in the scrotal skin and it is perfectly normal to have visible veins especially in the scrotal region. The only point is that in some people they are less prominent and in some more prominent, that's it and it is absolutely normal to have visible veins. Having one testicle forward and one backward is also perfectly normal and everybody has one of either testicles placed forward and another one backward. It is not misalignment it is what the normal alignment is, so shed off all your worries completely out of your thoughts and relax. Both your testicles are absolutely normal and also there is nothing wrong in the veins of your scrotum. I hope this helps.
