What Causes The Testicles To Be Smaller In A 5 Year Old?

hi there, my 5 year old sons right and left testes seem very small and hardly fill or fall into place in his scrotum. Should I be concerned? I just noticed this the past 6 -7 months. They used to fill in, but just lately his scrotum and testes got smaller and tighter.

Once the testicles are descended and occupied their rooms, it's Ok and usually one testicle is higher in position than other. As long as there is no pain or swelling in around testicles, no concern of worry.
