I am 18, I would like to ask if the testes damage due to weight lifting.

The side effects of weight training can sometimes involve the testicles. Some bodybuilders complain of testicular pain, either from a hernia or due to low testosterone levels. Low testosterone levels can come in where you either use steroids or really do an excessive amount of weight lifting. As long as you're properly supervised and you're lifting weights responsibly, you should be absolutely fine and your body should only benefit from weight training. That bit is key, though. Find a mentor who can show you everything and advise you on how much to do and when. Take nutrition seriously, as well.

Hey there what makes you think they could be damaged? Did you injure them or do they hurt? Have you been taking steroids or weight lifting supplements ?

Lifting does not usually affect your testicles. Sometimes people will get a hernia but that should not be a reason for you not lift. If you take testosterone supplements or steroids it can cause testicular shrinkage

No its nothing such so I don't have any supplements intake, so overall can I continue to have my body building without any further tension regarding all these problems?

Would like to ask whether lifting weights for bodybuilding has a connection with hydrocele. I 've heard people saying so all these myths are creating misconceptions, so I would like to know if there is something of this sought or not

Usually weightlifting does not cause hydrocele although not impossible.....you are more at RISk for getting a hernia from weightlifting than a hydrocele. Do you testicles usually hang low? It may help to wear supportive underwear while lifting like boxer briefs , briefs, compression shorts or a jock strap.

Hey there at 18 most guys are pretty well developed so itbis not likely to affect your height..... When did you start going through puberty ? How tall are your parents?

At the age of 14 and my parents are of average height almost 5feet 3 or 4 inches most probably
