Why do testicles sag?

In the eyes of many people, male testicles are very ugly, because the surface of the testicles is covered with scrotal skin, which looks wrinkled and unsightly. However, the health of the testicles is related to the reproductive health of men, so male friends should also pay attention to the health of the testicles and stimulate the testicles regularly. If a man has sagging testicles, what is going on?

The function of the scrotum, in addition to being an external barrier, from a reproductive perspective, it also has a unique role in regulating temperature, protecting the testicles inside at a constant suitable temperature. Careful observation will reveal that when in a cold environment, the scrotal skin will shrink and thicken, causing the scrotum to be pulled up and tense, with a smaller surface area. This can protect the temperature of the testicles in the scrotum from decreasing. On the contrary, in a higher temperature environment, the scrotal skin will naturally relax and atrophy, causing the scrotum to sag and increase its surface area. This is conducive to dissipating body temperature, preventing the temperature in the scrotum from rising, and protecting the testicles from producing sperm in a suitable temperature environment. Therefore, the contraction and relaxation of the scrotum is a normal physiological regulation phenomenon.

Many people, not understanding this principle, often see their scrotum shrinking and relaxing and misunderstand it. For example, some men mistakenly think that the shrinking and shrinking of the scrotum means that the testicles have become smaller, or even mistakenly think that it is maldeveloped and they are afraid of infertility. In fact, this situation is just an illusion caused by the scrotum lifting and contracting, which makes the testicles rise close to the groin area and difficult to reach all of them. Some people also mistakenly think that the sagging and sagging of the scrotum is a manifestation of weakened sexual ability and worry about it, which is even more nonsense. Physical fatigue and weaker sexual function than ordinary people may be caused by other problems in the body, or by too much work pressure and mental fatigue. In this regard, find the cause, pay attention to adjustment, and strengthen exercise, and you will slowly recover.

Experts say that some people have testicles that are larger than one and smaller than the other, or that are higher than the other. If the difference is not significant, it is normal. There are many curved seminiferous tubules in the testicles, which contain interstitial cells. The scrotum expands with heat and contracts with cold. It becomes loose and droopy when it is hot or when you are wearing too warm clothes. It shrinks and becomes smaller when it is cold or when you are not wearing enough clothes. So if there is no other discomfort, it is normal for the testicles to droop normally.

However, if accompanied by pain, foreign bodies and other symptoms, it indicates that you may have varicocele, orchitis, epididymitis, etc., which needs to be taken seriously. The causes of testicular prolapse are specifically as follows:

1. Testicular tumors and scrotal testicular effusion may also cause testicular ptosis.

2. Varicose vein. The main manifestation is that the scrotum on the side of the lesion is locally swollen, enlarged and painful.

3. In case of orchitis, examination of the affected side will reveal enlarged testicles, red and swollen skin, and a noticeable feeling of heaviness and tenderness.

4. Other reproductive inflammations may also cause testicular ptosis, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc.

The experts finally emphasized that the testicular prolapse caused by the disease is more serious and is accompanied by related symptoms in other parts of the body. Therefore, if these conditions occur together, it is necessary to consider whether there is a possibility of testicular cyst, scrotal testicular effusion, and varicocele. In order to make a clear diagnosis and treat the symptoms, male friends should also conduct timely examinations in this regard.
