Saggy Testicles: Causes, Concerns & When to See a Doctor


Question
Thank you in advance for taking this question seriously.  My testicles have always been saggy.  I'm 42 and over the last 1-2 years the situation has worsened significantly.  Often, they will hang 3/4 of the way to my knees (wish I was exaggerating).  I've read this could be hernia-related.  However, I have no pain (anywhere).  No pain, swelling, or lumps in scrotum or testicles.  I can deal with them okay now, but concerned what they may like at 50, 60, or 70.  Not interested in cosmetic surgery.  Do I need to be concerned from a medical standpoint or is this normal?  I know sagging is normal, but mine seem to be extreme in nature and can frequently be a hassle.  Thank you very much.  Mike

Answer
If you can get erections, your testosterone produced by them is probably normal.... this can also be checked easily with a blood test.... I don't know who would do surgery for that.. I think most would recommend a supporting pair of underwear, like a jockstrap for normal wear...  By doing that, you will also lessen the pulling and potential lengthening of the scrotum... I hope this helps...
