Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and history. TO recapitulate: Male/33 - testicles hanging low - no regular use of underwear - ear only at sports - Want to know how to avoid ...
Please give feedback about a few points that will help me to assist you more:
- Is this occurrence since very long ago or recently you have noted this?
- Area of residence - city and country; level of hot and humid condition ?
- Any associated symptoms you have like dragging pain in the scrotum or in the abdomen near umbilical area?
- Do the testicles retract when exposed to the cold water or so? (please take a cold shower and see).
The most probable cause of hanging testicles at your age are:
- Varicoceles, as they raise the local temperature
- Hot and humid temperature, hanging down is normal, natural phenomenon by God's grace, to keel the testicles cool for normal sperm production.
Please give feedback so that we can discuss further.
In the meantime you can get Ultrasonography and color doppler done and if possible to get an appointment of an Urologist or at least a General Surgeon.
The clinical evaluation, physical examination and investigations will confirm the diagnosis.
Whatever the diagnosis, you have to use scrotal support.

Not related to masturbation.
