pulls one (or both) of the testicles all the way out of the scrotum up into the groin. This condition, called retractile testicle, may explain your experience.

Why do my balls go back up inside me?

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.

Is retractile testicle normal?

Retractile testicles are caused by a normal reflex commonly found during physical exam in males. Retractile testicles are sometimes mistaken for undescended testicles, but they are not the same.

Should I be worried about a retractile testicle?

Retractile testicles in young boys aren't a cause for concern, as the affected testicles often settle permanently in the scrotum as they get older. But they may need to be monitored during childhood because they sometimes don't descend naturally and treatment may be required.

Why do my balls move up and down?

This response is known as the cremasteric reflex, which is a safety maneuver that the testicles perform to stay out of harm's way. When the threat is over, the testicles will come back to a position with which they feel temperature friendly and safe.

Why testicles move up into the abdomen

Why does my testicle go up into my groin?

Many men have a hyperactive cremaster muscle which results in the testicle vigorously retracting up to the groin to the extent that these men actually have to press the testicle back down to the scrotum.

Can a retractile testicle cause pain?

Symptoms. There are typically no issues like pain or trouble urinating associated with a retractile testicle.

Can your balls switch places?

In most males, a testicle can't twist because the tissue around it is well attached. Some males are born with no tissue holding the testes to the scrotum. This lets the testes "swing" inside the scrotum (often called a "bell clapper" deformity). Torsion can happen on either side, but rarely on both sides.

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.

Why are my balls moving so much?

Therefore, one of the main reasons you might see testicles moving around relates to temperature. The cremaster muscle is responsible for the movement. It expands and contracts according to temperature – moving them further from the body when it's warm and closer to the body when it's cold.

How do you put your balls back in place?

Surgery. An undescended testicle is usually corrected with surgery. The surgeon carefully manipulates the testicle into the scrotum and stitches it into place (orchiopexy). This procedure can be done either with a laparoscope or with open surgery.
