The biggest problem is there is no measurement by which we can say that whether the testes are hanging low or very low.
There are known few reasons to have low, hanging and loose testicles:
- Varicocele, meaning enlarged veins in the scrotum around the testes. They appear as a bag of worms if you palpate in the standing position.
-Working in a hot and humid temperature zone.
-Use of tight and synthetic underwear and pants.
-If associated with congenital hernia.
*it may not be related to masturbation.
* exercises can help to strengthen the muscles supporting the testes as then are continuation of the abdominal muscles.
Please get this checked by a General Surgeon or an Urologist, get ultrasonography with color doppler tests done to get an appropriate diagnosis and a plan for the treatment.
I hope this answer helps you to get a guideline for early diagnosis and proper treatment.
Please feel free to ask for more if need to .
