I am 15, 16 in january, I regularly masturbate and I can achive errections and produce semen normally, quite a lot, but ever since I've known, I've had no tesctiles, the area above my penis is soft and if i push down on it i can feel 2 lumps that hurt a bit when i push on them, and its been like that for a few months, and but where my testicles should be are just tight skin, sometimes baggy when i get out the shower but nothing in them, just empty, I have pubic hair aswell, but now, I have the lump pushing down into my right tesctile I can feel it and kinda see it, but nothing from my left, its still up where its been, does this mean my testicles are in the process of dropping, and a slight pain from my left testicle on where it is, but how long will it take to descend??
Hey there guest, how long ago did you start puberty? when was the last time you saw your doctor? im surprised he never said anything about your testicles (or lack there of) are you overweight at all?
thanks
You should contact a doctor, because I have seen my balls for as long as I could remember.
No need to worry everyone develops differently... If you feel the pain then you are most likely in the process of dropping.
I started puberty around early 14 if I remember right, My voice has dropped, I have armpit hair, I can grow facial hair, I can go pubic hair, and produce white semen, and I am not overweight I am 9 stone, and I am very healthy, I ride a BMX bike everyday at the skatepark, (not so much now since winter time) and I am a Press Photographer, so I have to travel a lot and a lot of walking!
So could it be that My balls are undescended, I was born 2 months prematurly though, could that be the cause?
You should go see your doctor copied this article hope it helps.
Normally, the testicles develop in the stomach of the baby before birth. Then they come down into the scrotum before birth. An undescended testicle occurs when one or both testicles fail to drop down before birth.
This happens fairly commonly in premature infants and occurs about 3-4% of the time in full-term infants. About 65% of these usually drop before the age of nine months.
Sometimes a child’s testicle will drop, but then retract or pull back into the scrotum. This is not considered an undescended testicle. This happens because of the strength of the muscles (cremasteric reflex) that retract the testicles before puberty. This is considered fairly normal and does not require surgery.
Testicles that do not drop by about one year of age should be examined by a surgeon. It is thought that by three years of age, if the testicles have not dropped, surgery should be done to prevent permanent damage to the testicles.
Testicles that do not descend naturally into the scrotum are considered abnormal throughout the patient’s life. These undescended testicles have a higher likelihood of developing cancer, regardless of whether they are surgically brought down or not.
Bringing the testicle down into the normal spot, the scrotum, maximizes sperm production and increases the odds of good fertility. It also allows for early detection of testicular cancer. In other cases, no testes can be found at all, even on surgical exploration. This happens before birth.
Usually the testicles will descend by age one without any help. If they do not, the first course of treatment can be hormone injections to stimulate movement and help the testicle descend. Surgery is the most common treatment. Recent research now suggests that surgery should be done early, rather than later, to prevent infertility. The surgery is called orchiopexy (ORKY-O-PEXY).
While the child is under anesthesia, an incision is made in the groin, where most undescended testes are located. The spermatic cord is found and freed to make sure it’s long enough. A small incision is made in the scrotum, and a pouch is created. The testicle is located and carefully pulled down into the pouch. The testicle is stitched into place, and the incisions are stitched closed. Orchiopexy is usually very successful with excellent prospects for fertility. The surgery usually is done on an outpatient basis, and bedrest is recommended for two to three days afterward. Strenuous activity, especially bike riding, usually is ruled out for about one month.
I'd happily go to the doctors, but i'm afraid to tell my mother, as it would be quite embarrassing telling her my testicles are undescended and I want to get it checked out. what should I say to her to make it seem less embarrassing
I know it can be embarrassing to talk with your mom about what is going on.
But I think she would have known about this problem from when you were younger and she changed and bathed you, she may just have been told they will descend on their own and assumed that was what happened.
You could maybe just say mom I need to go see the doctor for a check up as soon as possible.
If she insists on knowing the reason you could just say it has to do with your private area and that you’re not comfortable talking about it with her.
When it comes to your health don’t worry about the embarrassment your doctor needs to check you out, and from what I have read this needs to be addressed.
Your mom would much rather you get the help you need and ASAP.
If it is too hard to say it to her you could even write out for her.
Good luck.
