Does Weight Gain Change The Position Of The Scrotal Sac?
Question: I am 55 and overweight should I be concerned that testicles and scrotum seem to be balling up instead of hanging as they used too.
Brief Answer:
Being overweight does not lead to change in position of testicles
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Being overweight does not lead to change in the position of the testicles moreover once the testicles have descended into the scrotum during the embryonic development there is no way it can go back up.
However obesity can lead to increased risk of inguinal hernia, so please lose weight to avoid hernias.
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
