I noticed I only have one testicle. Now I’m 22 and will be 23 soon and assumed I was born without one and didn’t think much of it. However I did ask my mom and she said I have two. The doctors did an ultrasound and said there was one floating. Which I have no idea what that means. However I’m scared because I found out an undescended testicle has an increased risk of becoming testicular cancer. So now I’m completely scared that I never got it checked out and I may have it.
You need to see your doc and clarify what 'floating' means as undescended testicles are detected at birth and they keep an eye on things to see if they drop naturally...
There's another condition called Retractile Testicles where they move in and out of the scrotum and just jumping into a swimming pool or moving around can cause the displacement. This condition isn't serious and this could well be your issue?
