What Could Scrotum Tightness With Testicular Ache And Low Testosterone Levels Indicate?
I m a white male, 36. My scrotum has always been VERY tight to the point that my testes are inside me 80% of the time. I don t have a lot of hair growth overall, even though my father is hairy. I ve never had a low voice, but i m not gay. My testo levels seem low I think at 136. I m very sexually active and have muscle, yet it s very difficult to maintain. My Right testicle in particular has an ache toward the back near anus where I feel a lump. I think that s Vas deferens. No doctors have said there is a problem, but how can they know if they can t feel the testicle? Based on my descriptions, I d appreciate some insight. Thanks!

Hello dear,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
I read and understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.
No, its not like problem with your testicles otwrwise doctor never missed them.
I suggest you to take your USG done. It will diagnose the undescended testis.
If its undescended than you can think of treatment as how to descend it to normal level.
Undescended testis has many sign and symptoms which you have described in your description.
It is also the cause of infertility in some man. So as ifnyoi diagnose and treat it your problem may be solved.
Please wear loose undergarments, that can prevent testis to ascends.
I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you,
