Testes abnormally sucked up, abnormal penis contraction
mitch_foster posted:
I am 21 years old. Here are my problems, and they have both just started recently, within the last 18 months:
My testes have been sucked up a whole lot lately. I have asked a urologist about this and he has told me that it is normal for the testes to suck up, but only when it's cold. My testes suck up several times throughout the day and stay that way for several minutes. Some of the activities I engage that make this happen include working, going to the gym, and taking a shower, which all make my body hot, not cold.
Also my penis has been shrinking like a gurbworm when my testes suck up. It is literally 2 inches, which is very small compared to my normal hanging size.
Can anyone tell me why my testes and penis are shrinking and shriveling when I am not even cold, but rather sweaty and hot? Thank you very much.

One more thing I forgot to mention. The amount of semen I let off when ejaculating is very small. Hardly any semen will come out.

If you saw a urologist and he said there was nothing wrong, then there's nothing wrong. There are many men for whom the suspending ligaments are shorter than usual, and when you exercise, the amount of pulling your body is doing in general, pulls these ligaments tight and would potentially include the retraction of your testicles. You can do it on purpose if you just tighten your abdominal muscles (lift your testes position)
As long as they come back down when you're relaxes, there's no issue. What you don't want is to leave them up there for hours or days.
Your penis is also suspended by ligaments. It's flaccid length has absolutely nothing to do with anything. It only matters that you can achieve an erection when you want one.
The amount of semen you produce will vary from day to day, week to week, year to year. And isn't an indication of anything either.
If you're working out a lot, you may be both dehydrated and over-exerting yourself. Be gentle with your body.

Remember the testicles are always looking for a temperature to maximize sperm production whether that's being "sucked up" to get more heat from your body core or hanging looser to get cool from the ambient air. A guy can even have shrinkage in a hot shower because the testicles are wanting to get cooler (body core temp) instead of the super hot water coming out of the shower.
Shrinkage during physical exertion happens because the big muscles of the skeleton are taking blood away from other organs, and is also protective against injury when you're engaged in physical work, sports, etc.
It's possible that some guys are more susceptible to these changes than others, but nothing to worry about. Totally normal. Hope this information helps. Eugenio
