Hi.
Thanks for your query.
You has inflammation of the testes 4 years ago. Out of the 2 the right one has gone, meaning not felt.
The reason may be in the blood supply. Due to inflammation the arterial blood supply slowly gets diminished and the testis gets progressively stronger.
For a proper diagnosis ultrasonography with color doppler ; NOT the X-rays.
If there was a history of mumps , nothing can really be done.
