It's not normal, but I wouldn't say that it would be a big problem. Once puberty starts, the testicles begin to enlarge, so that they can no longer fit into the abdominal cavity. This means that either your right testicle never increased in size and might not be functioning properly, or you just have a large abdominal cavity for them to fit into. The cold can also cause the testes to shrink, which would allow them to fit more easily into the cavity. If your right testicle is larger than a grape, then there's nothing wrong with it. Just be glad it doesn't get stuck in there!

It can be normal but usually after you get into late teens or around that time, they wont fit up there anymore. When you were young there was a "tunnel" or cavity the testicles could retract to when cold. The reason for this is to keep the sperm at a "live" temperature. When it is hot the scrotum will sag down further to get the testicles away from the body to "cool" the sperm cells down to keep them living. When a man has been kicked or hit in the testicles, it is possible a testicle can "go up" and have to be brought back down surgically. In later development the testicle will get too big to " go up" into the body cavity just by manipulation..
If you are in your late teens or older, I would ask the Doctor about it. I doubt there is anything wrong but it will ease your mind.

Mine do that too occasionally and they are a normal size and have functioned well for many years (3 kids) .... but they especially seem to check out of the scrotum while girl is on top. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. There is an abdominal cavity that your testicles dropped through and down into your sroctum when you were a bouncing baby boy. Some of us have larger cavities than others... permitting the testicles to return from whence they came. As long as they re-appear all is OK. I can push mine back down into my scrotum by applying some light pressure on my groinal area.
BTW they don't shrink in water as suggested by one writer...... the scrotum skin contracts drawing your testicles closer to your body.

Hi, I am not a guy but i think it's not suppose to do that. I know when a guy gets in cold water like swimming they will get smaller from being cold but they don't hide inside their body. It's just that right side that does this! I would see a doctor to make sure there isn't something really wrong.

i think it's normal. It happens to my bf. But my bf sees a urologist every once in a while (long while) for a check up
