You should notice that your testicles are starting to grow already. Usually that happens slightly before you start growing pubic hair. Not everyones testicles hang - some people's do, while others are usually tighter to their body. You are kind of young still - so over the next year or so your scrotum may loosen up and you may notice that they hang lower then they do now.
i know what you mena bud dont worrie once i hit 15 it started growing a bit more but when i was 14 not alot so just wait you'll get there
im 15 i can grow some facial hair, were my pubic hair grows around my penis, there is a small pimple like thing. its been there for a long time.
I'm 15 and I think i have a hernia or some sh*t. My left testicle has like a pile of stringy frikkin mess next to it. i cant even explain it. i've had a small bulge in my ab for a while now too.
i'm wondering the same thing, i'm 13 and my penis has hair around it and even on the sack but idk if my balls have droped :/
I think you are trying to describe a varicosele. It is a loop of distended veins that sag in the scrotum (usually the left side) next to the testicle. It happens because of how the veins return blood up out of the scrotum, and how it backs up, and balloons out the veins.
It is nothing you have done wrong, nor have you caused it in any way. The odds of this happening in the general population are about one in ten, which also means that about ten percent of all men have noticible varicosele.
Some are quite large,, and can cause pain. Some affect the fertility of the man. But most are just there, and cause no real problem. You may notice a slight difference in how low your scrotum hangs at various times, but other than that, there is no real appearance problem. The key is not to get overly concerned about this.
There are two types of surgery now to eliminate them, but neither is guaranteed, and most are not considered unless fertility is an issue OR chronic pain.
Two check to see if this is your condition, try these three things: 1) The distended blood vessles "feel like a bag of worms" to the touch, and give way if you attempt to feel them or squeeze them. This produces no pain, no feeling at all. 2) When you lay down and look for the same set of lumps and bumps, they seem to have disappeared, as the blood returns to the body. and 3) in a darkened room, a penlight held behind the scrotum to "transiluminate" the varicocele will show red, due to the blood, instead of clear or yellow (which might inidcate a hydrocele, or a bag filled with watery fluid.)
You can perform all three of these checks at home in the privacy of your bedroom. There are the same steps the doctor will repeat in the exam room to confirm this.
Good luck, and don't worry.

Yes, as it inidicates that you are entering puberty and maturing. The lowering of the testicles allows them to raise and lower to protect them, and to produce sperm at the proper temperature.
Don't worry about it, but wear an athletic supporter if it makes you feel more comfortable. Also, you could wear jockey shorts instead of boxers if it feels better.
My left testicle has become noticeably larger then the right, and has been tender for about 22 hours (When i posted this). It is tender, and really hurts when i touch it or move quickly or sit down, it was especially painful, when i woke up. I worried i might have testicular cancer :/ Help please?
It's possible that you have a torsion of the testicle.
This would require an urgent trip to the Emergency Room.
It is caused by a twisting of the testicle within the scrotum that might restrict or shut off the blood supply to the testicle.
It is important that this be check out right away.
If you've waited 22 hours, it's probably not a torsion, but you might try sitting in/soaking in a warm bath to southe the testicle.
But I still think you're headed to the doctor for some treatment... possibly an antibiotic and at least an examination.
Don't wait.
Thanks, i will see, can you lose a testicle from this?
Ok. Well i am now 14. Have been for the past 2 months. And for about a year or a half or something, i have had this white substance on my area right next to the penis right above the sac. Similar to dandruff i believe because when i itch it, it comes off i guess like dandruff does. Very awkward. But is there any proBlem or disease i might have? Just wondering because i dont want to find out i died of some cancer or penis dandruff or something. But im not sure if its dandruff tho.
Ok. Well im 14. Have been for abt 2 months now. I have a question abt my scrotum(sac). So. For about a year or just a half a year, i have had this white crusty subtance growing in this one area in a circular shape. It isto the right of my penis and on the skin where my pubic hair lies. It seems like a dandruff type substance but im not sure. When i itch my balls when on the toilet, it comes off and grows back after a while, similar to dandruff. But im not sure wha it truly is. I dont have any type of disease or infection do i? Please help! Thanks'
