Could Lifting Heavy Weights Cause Retracting Scrotum And Testicles With Decrease In Penis Size?
Hi, Im 22years old, Ive been lifting heavy weights for about 4 years now. I eat healthy every day and I can t help but notice my testicles and scrotum retract and not hang like they use too anymore. I ve also noticed a slight decrease in penis size and slight discomforts in my right testicle. Was just wondering if lifting so much is what causes that? I ve talked too other friends at the gym and many have the similar problem. Was just wondering what can be done too treat it?

No not at all. Who told you this. Lifting heavy weight without techniques can cause injuries/hernia but cannot shrink genitals as you think. So, stop thinking like this and continue your gym sessions under advise. All the best.
