hai Deepak,
For a normal man usually the left testicle is little larger and little lower than the right one..
As you got a history of infection in testes, so possibly to rule out any lump or mass in both testes (testicular atrophy) or any abnormality in the structure like epididymitis, orchitis and other related organs should be detected.
pain will be there occasionally.because of position discomfort. frequent,regular pain should be ruled out.
bacterial infection will cause structural damage to testis that will lead to infertility (if left untreated.)
do a semen analysis to rule out the infertility and status of testis. kindly consult a physician with that report for further clarification.
thank you
Hope i answered you query.
