Suggest Correction For An Elongation In The Scrotum

I am a twenty-six-year-old male. I am not sure if my scrotum is of normal size. When i am hot it hangs about five and a half inches from beneath my penis. But when i was in the millitary, I noticed that some of the guys had longer scrotums than me. I didnt take notes on this, and maybe we were all the same, but I feel self conscious about its lenth becvause i am usually not hot and they usually dont hang low. am i normal and are ball weights safe?

Hi,Good Morning.This is Dr.Savaskar from India,attending your query to my online HCM Clinic.
-I studied your query in depth and Understood your health concerns.
-Accordingly on the facts given by you-Treatment I would suggest is as follows-
a-length of the scrotum is determined genetically -as it depends on the length of the spermatic cord-which is also determined genetically.
b-Besides this better diets and upbringing also makes a difference.
c-When body is hot the scrotum elongates to discharge the local tissue temperature and reduces when it wants to conserve heat.
d-So dont go worrying.Whatever length you have is NORMAL FOR YOU.
and balls will be safe with that scrotal length is controlled by -AUTONOMOUS NERVOUS SYSTEM which controls the tissue temperature by increase or decrease of blood supply to the tissue.
Hope this would help you to relieve the worry you had.
-If you still worry I would advise you to Consult -Surgeon-who after clinical examination would rule out the diseases causing elongated scrotal length?Inguino-scrotal hernias/hydrocele/testicular tumours.?
Hope this would help you to plan a visit to Surgeon for consultation,if need be at your end.
Wishing you healthy living and early recovery of this query.
Wellcome for more queries till you get the satisfied.Thanks for your query to HCM Clinic.Have a Good Day...!!
