Is retractile testicle a problem?
In young boys a retractile testicle is a testicle that moves between the groin and scrotum. This may seem alarming but it's not a health risk. The testicle most often moves back down into the scrotum on its own, but sometimes may require a painless move by the hand.
How do you fix a retractile testicle?
In most cases, no treatment is needed for testicular retraction. The condition will go away around the time puberty begins, if not before. Until the testicle descends permanently, this is a condition that should be monitored and evaluated by a doctor at annual checkups.
Can a retractile testicle cause low testosterone?
Q: Does having an undescended testicle affect my testosterone levels? A: Yes. It may lead to your testosterone levels being lower than the norm. When this is caused by undescended testicles, it is known as primary hypogonadism.
Why do my balls go up inside?
An overactive muscle causes a testicle to become a retractile testicle. The cremaster muscle is a thin pouch-like muscle in which a testicle rests. When the cremaster muscle contracts, it pulls the testicle up toward the body.
What happens if a testicle goes up?
The health effects of this condition are not well known, but males with retractile testicle may be more vulnerable to testicular cancer, fertility problems, testicular torsion (twisting of the cord that connects the testicle to the groin), and damage caused by pressure against the pubic bone.
How long does it take for a man's balls to fill back up?
Your body produces fresh sperm every day, and your sperm supply gets replenished at least every 64 days.
Can a man with 1 testicle have babies?
How Much Does It Affect Fertility? Men with one undescended testicle can still have children, but their fertility is lower than normal by roughly half. If they have surgery to correct it, especially when younger, their fertility is about the same as if they never had a problem.
Which testicle do you need to make a baby?
Remember, one testicle can provide enough testosterone for you to get an erection and ejaculate. This is also enough to produce adequate sperm for fertilization. As long as you're in good health and don't have any underlying conditions that could impact your fertility, you should be able to have children.
