What Causes Hanging Of The Testicles And Constipation?

My boyfriend, who is 55, and has diabetes 2, has been complaining about constipation, and one of his testicles is hanging lower than the other - it happened 2 weeks ago, then the testicle returned to almost normal position, but has since dropped lower again. He thinks he may have bumped it in his sleep, but I am wondering if he has an inguinal hernia.

Hello dear

Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query for your boyfriend in details .

* The hanging of testicles seems to be physiological variant in relation with
ligament laxity at 55 rather than hernia .
* Constipation is separate issue , not connected to testicles .

Wishing him fine health .
Feel free to ask any further doubts .

Regards .
