I don't feel any discomfort. Is this considered testicular ptosis?

Patient's question:

Mainly, it's about youthful sex, and then there's a bit of self-consciousness. I'm almost 18 and feel like I might have premature ejaculation. Is it testicular descent?

Doctor's answer:

The descent of male testicles is a self-protective function of the male body to safeguard sperm. When the weather is hot or the temperature of the testicles drops, it can cause sperm to die. Therefore, the scrotum curves to conduct heat. Conversely, when it gets cold, the scrotum contracts on its own to keep the testicles at a constant temperature. However, if the testicular descent is severe, it may be necessary to consider the possibility of testicular cysts, hydrocele, or varicocele. Therefore, if you notice severe testicular descent, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.
