A member asked:
My right testis keeps moving up leaving a bit of scrotum hanging behind. is it normal?

There is a muscle in the scrotum called the dartos muscle. It is responsible for moving the testicles up and down, usually in response to temperature changes. This way the testicle is staying the same temperature all the time. The reflex is called the dartos reflex and it is normal.
