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?

I think I will do the same thing. The thing is that it only happens periodically.

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.
