Cremasteric reflex: One testicle usually is lower than the other, also, when you are frightened, or exposed ro cold, a reflex called the cremasteric reflex causrs tour scrotum to contract and the testicles are retracted up towards the abdomen

Yes: It is possible for the testicle to retract up to an area in the lower abdomen call the inguinal ring / inguinal canal. An exaggerated reflex called cremasteric reflex often causes this response. At age 24 years however, I will recommend a consult with a urologist to help differentiate this from true undescended testicle and provide you with proper information on testicular health. Take care.

I have a single undescended testicle. This has been since birth. I frequently went to a pediatrician as a child who would check up but haven't been checked on after 8 years of age. Is this a serious issue? I have a testicular US scheduled next month?
