Q: Shrinkage in testicles and penis

asked by: DoctorQuestion on April 4th, 2009

my question comes in regards to my testicales and penis, for the past couple of months I have been experiencing shrinkage in them to the point it feels I dont have testicals at all and my penis it seems like a child's penis, and some times I feel they are normal, but when ever i'm in a sexual matter my testicales shrink very quikely,and it seems hard for my penis to get up as quickly, so this matter is really freaking me out, if you could advise me on this matter or if I need to see a physation I sure do appreciate that.

thank you

Testicles Answer A6258

No data was given how long it takes to achieve complete erection.
What you experience related to the testicles might be completely normal. In the scrotum there is a cremasteric muscle that is involved in the action of the cremasteric reflex. This reflex is elicited by lightly stroking the superior and medial (inner) part of the thigh. The normal response is a contraction of the cremaster muscle that pulls up the scrotum and testis on the side stroked.
