When i sit for a long time my testicles hang loose, but as soon as i stand up and walk they shrivel up! same with my penis. why does this happen?

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Temperature : regulation, testicles need their temperature around 2 degrees Celsius below body temperature, so the cremasteric muscle in the scrotum contract and relax to keep this temperature differential according to the situation of your body
