Testicles move into groin: is this normal? Posted: 02-08-07 10:33am
Howdy, well its probably not a huge issue
but i would still like to know the
answer,
my testicals are able to and do often,
move up into my groin area, rather than
just up closer to my body, is this
normalish ??? and I dont think my
testicals and scrotum are big enough,
just a personal observation.

The normal size for a testicle is: length
4.5-5cm, width 2.5-3cm and thickness
2-2.5cm. If the inguinal canal is open and
the spermatic line is shorter, the
testicle can move upward and enter into
the part of the inguinal canal that
projects in the groin area. This, however,
is not normal. You may consult some
urologist about the anatomy and behavior
of the testicles.
