A member asked:
Ok so my 7 year old sons has left retractile testicle,its there after a hot bath or while he is asleep,the right one is perfectly normal in the scrotum,both are smooth and firm but the retract one feels slightly smaller is this worth worrying?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not serious: A retractile testicle is caused by an overactive muscle. It slides easily into and out of the scrotum. Your childs Dr should examine the testicles annually at each well child exam. For most children the testicle movement out of the scrotum will go away during puberty when the testicles enlarge. Watch for pain or a testicle that no longer descends into the scrotum.
