A member asked:
How do doctors differentiate between retractile testicles and undescended testicles? at what age do retractile testicles stay down in the scrotum? at what age would an acquired undescended testicle no longer be possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Retractile testicle is that which goes up in the groin then comes back in the scrotum under certain circumstances.. Undescended is one which has never come down in the scrotum. Undescended testicle is not an acquired condition.

I seems that every time I have a physical exam, my testicles pull up tight in my scrotum so the doctor cannot really examine them well. They usually hang down low at other times. Does anxiety cause the scrotum to contract and pull the testicles up?
Doctors, I am 18 and each of my testicles are about 1-1.5 inches long and not very wide. My penis is 5-6 inches erect. Am i normal? Or small scrotum?
