Before I get a dozen replies explaining to me that "a boys testicles descend from inside his body into the scrotum before or right after birth and if not it is called undescended testicle and you should see a DR” ,
Yea I know that But the process of your balls and sack getting bigger during puberty and hanging lower is commonly called balls dropping OK?

Now the question I need help with is my balls and sack are still very small and don’t hang at all but sometimes when swimming or if it’s really cold my right nut which is always a little higher than the left (I know from other posts that this is normal) completely disappears like it goes back inside :eek:Does or did this ever happen to anybody else or should I tell my parents I need to see the DR about this undescended testicle thing??
:what:

Suggesting that your still fairly young and in just the early ages of puberty, this is what you should know. You testicles do not "go back *into* your body" but keep as close as possible to your body to stay warm. During cold weather or areas (like the cold water when swimming) the outside becomes to cold for the testes so the sack tightens and keeps close to the body to stay at the nicest tempature possible for the balls. Your testicles and sperm cells are tempature sensitive. When your body is to hot, you'll "sag" more down there to keep cooler and vice versa for coldness. Many other kids have this situation during the cold so just relax and if you are really that unsure, then go ask the DR. I really hope this helped :]

Same thing happens to me sometimes. mine are still pretty small, and sometimes it is like both of them disappear. But if your were really undescended - you would not see one of them at all. My cousin had that a few years ago.

It sounds like your still growing so it should be ok, if not talk to a doc :)
