One of my testicles is vertical and the other is horizontal, just wondering if anyone else has this kind of problem?

Use 45 degree

Are you sure about this? Maybe it is just your perception. It would be easier to tell with a picture but if you do not experience pain or anything I do not think you have to worry.

As long as your testicles work and you aren't in pain, this may not be any problem at all.

It depends upon what you mean by 'vertical' and 'horizontal'. If you mean one of your testicles hangs lower than the other, that's perfectly normal.

It's usually the left testicle that hangs lower than the right; and the medical explanation is that it prevents each testicle from hitting the other when we move about naked or in loose fitting underwear - which is a nonsense in my experience!
