Patient's question:
The left testicle hangs down significantly, and sometimes I feel a bit weak and unable to get a hard erection.Doctor's answer:
Why the scrotum hangs is something you should understand. The scrotum is a stretchable tissue. Because the temperature required by the testicles is 1-2 degrees lower than the body temperature, when the body temperature is high, the scrotum will hang down to lower the temperature of the testicles. When the body feels cold, the scrotum will contract, making the tissue of the scrotum thicker to maintain the temperature of the testicles. So, it's not that the scrotum hangs when the body is not well. The hanging of the scrotum has nothing to do with the health of the body. It is related to the body temperature.
