The testicles move

Testicles are important male reproductive organs. Generally, testicles will move up and down, so you don't have to worry too much about it. But in daily life, male friends still need to take good care of their testicles, so that they can better guarantee their fertility and sexual function. Below, we will introduce in detail the reasons for testicular movement, the location of testicles, and methods of testicular care.

1. Why do testicles move?

Normal testicles also move up and down, and the spermatic cord also follows the principle of contraction and relaxation, but generally does not cause pain. The temperature of normal testicles is 2 to 3 degrees lower than that of the human body, which is conducive to the preservation of sperm. If it moves to the abdominal cavity, it will affect the maturity and activity of sperm. Most patients with cryptic testis have reproductive dysfunction.

2. Testicular location

The testicles are located in the scrotum, one on each side, and the left side is generally 1 cm lower than the right side. The testicles are slightly flattened elliptical, with a smooth surface, divided into inner and outer sides, front and back edges, and upper and lower ends. The front edge is free; the back edge has blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels entering and exiting, and is in contact with the epididymis and the testicular part of the vas deferens. The upper and back edges are attached to the epididymis head, and the lower end is free. The outer side is convex and the inner side is flat. The testicles grow rapidly with sexual maturity, and shrink and become smaller with the decline of sexual function in old age.

3. How to maintain testicles

The testicles have a thick fibrous membrane that divides the testicles into many testicular lobules. The connective tissue between the seminiferous tubules in the testicular lobules contains interstitial cells that secrete male hormones. Once men enter puberty at the age of 12-14, interstitial cells can produce a large amount of testosterone.

Testosterone is the main component of male hormones, and its biological effects in the human body are extremely important. It is currently believed that the reason why testosterone levels gradually decrease with age may be related to the aging of the testicular system due to daily wear and tear of the human body and excessive stress in life. When male hormones drop to a certain level, symptoms such as irritability, depression, fatigue, and decreased libido will appear, which means that male menopause has begun.

Testicular care is an important means to solve male dysfunction. Men can massage the testicles with both hands when taking a bath or before going to bed. Use your thumb to gently pinch the testicles clockwise and counterclockwise for ten minutes each. Long-term persistence will definitely be beneficial. If you feel abnormal pain during massage, it may be orchitis or epididymitis. Please go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
