Serious question about testicles?

Question

I am currently on prescription ultram tablets. I am taking the recommended dosage, and I have noticed something really weird....When I look down at my testicles, either them or my skin is moving constantly, it is very strange, anyone ever heard of this?? anything to worry about?

Answer 1

This motion is involuntary and is caused by movement of the dartos muscle in the scrotum. Normal. Want another thrill? Try scratching the inner thigh, the testes retract. This is done by the cremasteric reflex.
You have way too much free time on your hands.

Answer 2

Have they placed the painful testicle over a bright torch to check it is not twisted? This is called a torsion and I am lead to believe it is very painful. Torsion of the testis is a surgical emergency. Although it occurs in all age groups, torsion is most common in adolescents. The typical presentation is with a tender, swollen scrotum and lower abdominal pain; symptoms are however variable and often much less marked in young children and neonates. The incidence of torsion is higher for undescended testes. The scrotum must be explored surgically if there is any uncertainty about the diagnosis clinical features Medical search Presentation is typically with an acutely swollen and painful testis, lower abdominal pain and sometimes, vomiting. The abdominal pain occurs because the testis retains its embryological nerves supply which primarily, is from the T10 sympathetic pathway. There may be a history of mild trauma to the testis or of previous episodes of testicular pain due to torsion and untwisting. The testis lies horizontally, high in the neck of the scrotum. In the early stages, the cord may be palpably thickened. Later, palpation is difficult as the overlying scrotal skin becomes red and oedematous. Pain is not relieved by elevating the twisted testis - negative Prehn's sign. The cremasteric reflex is absent. A neonatal torsion may be without symptoms and simply present as a hard, enlarged testes in a blue scrotum. They tend to present late, and it is more difficult to preserve the testes. Of boys presenting with acute scrotal swelling only 25% will have torsion of the testis. The scrotum should be explored under general anaesthetic if torsion is suspected. Torsion for more than 4 hours is likely to result in irreversible damage to the testis. There is no time for other investigations differential diagnosis Medical search This includes: acute epididymitis torsion of hydatid of Morgagni strangulated inguinal hernia testicular trauma Urgent intervention is required. The patient or his parents must be warned of the possible need to remove the testis. If surgery is unavailable, or presentation is at an early stage, it may be possible to untwist the testis without operation. The direction of rotation is that in which the pain is decreased. This is a temporary measure. The testis must later be secured surgically to prevent recurrence. If the testis cannot be untwisted, urgent operation is necessary if the testis is to be saved. A scrotal incision is made and the testis examined. A black testis that fails to recover its colour is necrotic and must be removed. If some colour returns, the testis may be viable and should be left. It is untwisted and sutured to the tunica vaginalis or placed into a dartos pouch to prevent recurrence. The other testis should be fixed as predisposition is usually bilateral. If the testis has been saved, the patient is given a scrotal support and should take bed rest for 24 hours to assist the swelling to settle. If the testis has been removed, early mobilisation is encouraged.

Hey mate, Are these people thick or are they just blowing smoke, The skin on your testicalls moves slowely as your balls are making sperm, WTF everybody's do and dont think im just talkin about myself i am a traini biologist so i know a fair bit, Even if u stop the drug, it will still move, as ur testicalls move to get the right temperature etc, Dnt worry mate this is normal. If you want to be on the safe side see a doctor, but i wouldnt loose sleep, See one anyway

Answer 4

Testicle typically move in response to stimulation or temperature. They are pretty mobile all day - I think you are simply noticing it for the first time, and then associating it with the drug. I wouldn't worry about it.

Answer 5

The testicles are in almost constant motion....especially when unrestricted by clothing. That is completely normal and has nothing to do with the meds you are on.

Answer 6

Probably should have looked before the meds. Far as I know, every guy's balls move around on their own, just natural to do, they move around to get the optimum temperature for sperm production. As one of your guy friends if you can watch his scrotum for a few minutes, if he lets you you will see a lot of moving around.

Answer 7

You should call your doctor this may be a side effect of the drug

Answer 8

see a doctor if u whant to keep them

Answer 9

I would probably call your doctor and ask them about this. ASAP

Answer 10

I think this is normal!
