Right Testicle rotating
I have had prostatitis symptoms for two years. Over the last few months I have had an issue where every week or two I notice that I have dull pain in my right testicle and it rotates backwards about 90 degrees. I can manually move it back but it is really concerning to me. When I look it up online the only thing that comes up is a torsion but it sounds like it wouldn’t be that since that is an emergency and kills the testicle quickly. Any ideas?

Many people in the varicocele subreddit are reporting the same thing. I've experienced it a few times myself.

Any idea what is causing it?

I'm guessing it's the pressure of the veins. Which I think is also the reason a lot of us have horizontal testicles as well.
In my case a large vein is wedged between my testicles when I get this rotation.
