Nothing: The testicles and scrotum have a muscle that causes it to retract. The testes may hang lower or rise as one ages depending on the tonicity of this muscle (cremaster muscle). It is of no clinical significance and can be monitored if there are no other symptoms.

No past medical history. No recent weight loss. Have only been gaining weight naturally. Not on any medication. My testicle sack is in a higher position than normal. And are loose and hang very low. Could this be explained and how can this be treated?
