Missing testicle reappeared, disappears again during sex

Posted , 3 users are following.

I'm 18 and I've had only 1 testicle for as long as I can remember, I've never been told if anything has happened to it or anything like that, but suddenly a couple of months ago, my other testicle just appeared and I got quite worried about it. But during sex it keeps going up and disappearing and giving me a stomach ache and it's really tender to touch, I'm debating whether to go to the doctors as I don't know if it it something I should be worried about

    So its going back up into your body? That happens to me sometimes and I can feel it right underneath the skin in my pube area. I just push it back down. If its chronically staying up there, I believe there is a surgery to have to attached in its proper place, like when people get chronic torsion. Shocking to hear its just coming around.

    Going to the doctor wouldn't hurt, bud. That sounds like a unique case, IMO. Testicular pain is nothing to wait on. Good luck!

    What you have is a retracting testicle(retractile ) or it is also called an ascending testicle. It enters your inguinal canal and if it stays up too long it can become cancerous.

    It also can be caused by a short spermatic cord., but this is a rare condition.

    That is what I was told when it happened to me at age 42. Originally the doctors wanted to cut both of them out because of the fear,of cancer.

    At age 15, both of my testicles would enter my body constantly. They would go up when I mastubated

    or not. But my testicles were abnormally small because I have 47 chromosomes. My sex organs never grew during puberty because my body does not produce testosterone. So they are about the size of pre- teens, hazel nut size testicles, erection around 4 inches and a small scrotum.

    I finally had them surgically tied down, it is called orchiopexy. The reason I finally had the surgery was because when they entered my inguinal canal it felt like they were being crushed inside my body.

    However, I was told I should not ride a bike because I could crush them on the seat. I am constantly aware where they are especially when I sit down, so I don't sit on them.

    One person on this website stated his surgery didn't meet his expectations because his testicle was tied in a awkward area in his scrotum.

    Most doctors will try to convince you to have the one removed if it inside your body constantly because of cancer concerns.

    But the surgery is painful. In my case since I was 42, the doctors split my scrotum in half in order to sew them down to the bottom if my scrotum then sewed my scrotum together. Don't mastubate for 3 to 4 months after surgery because it will be painful. My scrotum caves in sometimes, but that is normal.

    I hope you seek the advice from a doctor, but you have to decide how you want the doctor to proceed. If you don't want to have the surgery, that is your choice not the doctors choice.

    The doctor may want to cut it out completely which will leave you with only one testicle but you can still have children with only one testicle. But if you decide to remove one, there are artificial testicles that can be implanted in your scrotum to mimic as having 2 testicles.

    Again, it will also depend on your medical insurance.

    I live in the US, so I don't know the medical procedures in the UK

    Good luck.

    I hope my information helps you understand your problem

      I'm aware of the retracting testicle and other things like that as I have read up on them to see what I have but I have never four anything remotely close to the sort of thing that I have, I just don't understand how 18 years of my life I've had 1 testicle an suddenly a few months ago the second testicle just appeared, I'm just so confused as to why this has happened

      Usually it happens to boys with cryptorchidism. But most parents are aware of it. But you should have asked a doctor when you were younger or at least you could have known in high school in a sex education class.

      You be surprised some boys believe that they only have one testicle. But many boys lose one due to testicular cancer. Others through injury, by a blow to the testicle, from a kick or any hard object.

      Don't be ashamed that you only thought you had one testicle.

      You could have lost it at birth, but didn't know it was stuck inside your body, until now.

      I used to push my testicles down everyday. But even though, mine are tied down, in my scrotum, they seem to want to go back into my body, but can't, so I try to push them down by pulling down on my scrotum.

      I hope you go to a doctor and find out any options that can help you with your floating.testicle.

      Some gay men apply weighs to their testicles to grow low hangers, but you can find that information on the internet. Alot of gay techniques can be harmful. But there are of stuff gay men that do to sex organs to make them looser or other bizarre things. If they stretch their penis skin, it is to restore their foreskin, which in turn, by an operation, it is restored.

      A doctor is a specialist. I am not a doctor..

      Only a doctor can answer your question on how to keep your testicle out of your body. At age 18, I suse ct, the doctor may want to remove it entirely.

      My urologist 6 years ago, wanted to remove mine because they seemed to try to go back into my body and I felt that crushing sensation again, but his superiors told him that the operation would be too dangerous to perform on a 60 year old man. I am now 66, so at times I have to live with that pain every once in awhile. But it does help when I pull down my scrotum to push my testicles down where they belong.

      Good luck
