Swelling in the testes that reduces when lying down or elevating the pelvis is a classic sign of varicocele, a condition where the veins in the scrotum become enlarged. Gravity affects blood pooling in these veins, which is why the swelling decreases in certain positions. It is advisable to consult a urologist for a proper diagnosis and to discuss appropriate treatment options.

A “testicular’ swelling that reduces when lying down or elevating pelvis is most likely a varicocele.
Sometimes other “scrotal” swellings like inguinal hernia are confused to be “testicular” swellings. These hernias also may reduce on lying down or elevating the pelvis.
In any case a visit to a surgeon will help plan further.
Hope that helps!
