hello

this is my first post I have just been reading threw old post for the past week. so I have a problem I have been lifting weights for the past two months and have noticed that one of my testicles disappears while lifting heavy weight. I have asked my doctor and he said since there is no pain with it that it is not a problem. has anyone else had this problem? it worries me so I was wondering if it is common. I am a healthy 24 year old and have no other problems.any help would be great thanks.

I dont get it...I've never heard of that before. I wonder what is going in detail when that happens.

It's called transient testicular retraction or ascension, I think. In younger kids it's caused by an over active muscle that causes the testicle to ascend up into the anginual canal. It usually goes away around puberty though it's probably the same thing here. Don't quote me on any of this though.

As long as it doesn't cause pain, or get stuck up there, or swell up or anything it's probably fine just like the doc said. If you're worried or just want more info you should ask to be referred to a urologist, which means one who studies balls. Oh and urine

Just kidding. They just have a lot more specialized knowledge in that kind of thing though.

I have had something similar happen once or twice. But not while working out. It happend during sex, and it scared the shit out of me. Still don't know why or how it happend.

I have not heard of that happening during a workout, but as long as it does not hurt I guess you will be alright.

thanks for the replies. I am going to see the nut specialist. ha ha. It just freaks me out and thought I would see if it was common but I guess not, just me. I used to workout in high school and never had it happen so it is weird. thanks again.

There's a guy in my gym class who can hold his nose, then try to suck in air and his balls jump up into a body cavity. Then he says "kick me in the nuts" and people kick him full force but he doesn't feel a thing.

I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
