Veins and arteries allow the blood flow to run through the entire scrotum. If your boyfriend's testicular movements were even more pronounced, then you can thank his cremaster muscle.
It gently bungees the testicles to whatever part of the neighborhood they need to hang comfortably in. Another muscle, the dartos muscle, helps move the testicles up and down inside the scrotum. Together, they enable, as Kramer would say, "the boys," to dance. Testicles are temperature sensitive sperm factories. Sperm need to be kept at a certain temperature to be happy and healthy. When the "boys" get cold, they snuggle up and get warm.
Feeling stuffy, they can hang lower to get cool. Just before orgasm, the cremaster and the dartos muscle work as a team to bring the testicles into lock and un load position. Here's another learning activity you and your boyfriend can try that can also get the "boys" to dance just for you. Touch the upper inner portion of your boyfriend's thigh. Anyone experiencing these symptoms alongside sagging testicles should see a doctor.
Sometimes, a person will not experience any other symptoms and will not notice that they have the issue. Although age-related sagging in the scrotum is normal, some people may be uncomfortable with its appearance or find that it gets in the way of their daily life — for example, by making it easy to sit accidentally on the testicles. Surgery is the only sure way to resolve the issue, but people can also try a range of nonsurgical methods, including those below. There are several different exercises that people claim can prevent or treat sagging testicles, although there is no scientific evidence to prove that they work.
Still, many people perform exercises to help them work out the muscles in this area of the body. Some people say that they feel better when doing these exercises, perhaps because they feel as though they are being proactive. Even if they are ineffective, testicle exercises are unlikely to harm the testicles or make the sagging any worse.
Doing basic Kegels, by finding and activating the pubococcygeal PC muscles, may help some people support their penis and testicle health in general. The PC muscles are the muscles that a person uses to hold back their urine stream.
The basic Kegel exercise involves contracting the muscles as though trying to cut off the urine stream. As this exercise activates the PC muscles, it may improve the strength of the pelvic floor and help with some issues in the testicles, prostate, and penis. Testicular holding is similar to weight training the testicles. Holding the testicles in one hand and pulling downward activates the PC muscles. Doing this for 5 minutes each day may activate the PC muscles more strongly than simple Kegels.
As much of the sagging in the testicles is due to aging skin, it may help to keep the skin as youthful as possible. The American Academy of Dermatology recommend several ways to protect and care for the skin, including:. These tips may help improve skin health in general, which may slow the progress of saggy testicles. Some surgical options are available to treat overly sagging testicles. These are largely for people who dislike how their testicles look.
These treatments may also help in cases where the person has problems that arise from their saggy testicles, such as accidentally sitting on their testicles too often. In these cases, a procedure called a scrotoplasty may help keep the scrotum from hanging down as far. During a scrotoplasty, the surgeon will carefully remove extra skin from the scrotum to let the testicles rest higher up toward the body. Surgery works to treat saggy balls, but the results are not permanent.
The effect is likely to wear off over time as the skin continues to stretch with age. In the case of a varicocele, a surgical procedure called a varicocelectomy treats the underlying issue by tying off the swollen veins. The symptoms should go away as the area heals, and this may have a positive effect on the sperm.
There is no miracle cure for sagging testicles. People may come across other methods — such as only wearing tight briefs and avoiding sex or masturbation — on internet forums and by word of mouth, but these are not effective methods.
Other sources claim that lotions, creams, hormones, or supplements can help. If the cremaster reflex is strong enough, it can result in a retractile testicle, pulling the testicle out of the scrotum and up into the groin. Retractile testicles are generally not associated with complications, aside from a greater risk of the testicle becoming an ascending testicle.
