What does it mean if a man's scrotum seems to hang or the time when it starts to hang?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Scrotum: Hangs lower to keep the sperm at a constant temperature when it is warm. Same reasoning for why it constricts closer to the body when it is cold.

I seems that every time I have a physical exam, my testicles pull up tight in my scrotum so the doctor cannot really examine them well. They usually hang down low at other times. Does anxiety cause the scrotum to contract and pull the testicles up?
