The left testicle is one of the two male reproductive organs located in the scrotum, a sack of skin below the penis. It's responsible for producing sperm and the hormone testosterone. It's usually slightly larger and hangs lower than the right testicle. This is normal and helps to prevent the testicles from damaging each other.
