Why do my balls disappear sometimes?

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.

Testicle shrinkage is prevented with hCG and should always be taken with testosterone. Testosterone therapy can also lead to an elevated level of estrogen. It may be confusing that increasing a male hormone would also increase a female hormone. Biochemically, testosterone is a precursor compound to estrogen.

Why do my balls go up when I'm hard?

When you climax, it's normal for testicles to "ride up" into your body. In some males, an "overactive" cremaster muscle 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 doctors make you cough when holding your balls?

By asking you to cough while cupping your testicles, the doctor is checking for the possibility of a hernia – a lump which can occur from a weakness in the wall of the abdomen which pushes through to your scrotum. Hernias are rare in young men and if caught early can be fixed with a small operation.

Can your balls switch sides?

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.

What happens if one of your balls are gone?

Men who have one testicle removed usually don't experience sexual problems. The remaining testicle will produce enough testosterone to make up for the missing one. Erections and fertility also shouldn't be affected. If both testicles are removed, the man's body will no longer produce testosterone.
