It's really bugging me now...

[socal21]

Ever since I hit puberty, I always thought my Testicles were small. I'd go to the doctor,but I never said anything do to embarrassment and I was also pretty fat,so I thought maybe that's why?

I'm now at an average weight,and my Testicles are way to small still. I have had some minor problems in my past. I wanna say 3 years ago out of no where I got a really sharp pain in my right testicle,and it ended up being a cyst. As a child and into my teens I had pretty bad asthma and I was always given steroids to open my lungs.

This is really bothering me and as it is I have low self esteem due to being overweight growing up, I feel like its just one more load on me. I was with a guy over the weekend for the first time,and as he was blowing me,he wanted to caress my balls,but since their small they go back up

..Any advice?

I was seeing a guy years ago who exhibited the same condition as you - the testicles would retract partially into his body.

You know what? We had amazing sex and I never gave his balls a second thought.

I've also been with someone who had 1 testicle - fuck if I cared. There are so many other important things than one's testes.

My advice? Don't dwell on things you can not change.

Well, they may grow some if you are off steroids long enough. But seriously, there are bigger things in life to worry about. Last time I checked, you fuck someone with your dick, not your balls. That would be just really awkward.

But I do understand. We NEVER see ourselves in the same way as others do.

 

[socal21]

But should I have myself checked anyways?

..Is there some sort of therapy to help my Testies grow a bit?

The steroids that you were on were corticosteroids. They're produced by the adrenal glands on your kidneys, not the testicles, so they wouldn't affect the size of your testicles.

Your testicles retract when exposed to cold or in a reaction called the cremasteric reflex (tickle the inside of your leg or under your scrotum and you can make this happen). That's normal. Some guys have enough space in their inguinal canal to where they can completely retract to either side of the penis. As long as they return to their normal position when warm, that's normal.

There's a chart that pediatricians use to gauge male testicular development- it's called an orchiometer.

However, from I recall of a picture you posted a while back, you seem to fall into the normal range and your body development is normal for a guy your age, so there's not a functional problem.

It's probably something that you're self-conscious about that probably won't be noticed by anyone else.

is the orchidometer actual size? Cause I'd fall under early puberty :/

That would depend on your screen resolution. You can gauge by the 1 inch caption on the 25cm image.

Ok, but other than that, there's nothing I could get from my doctor? I'm scheduled for a routine physical in a couple weeks,so I thought i'd say something then.

You meant 25 mL - 25 cm would be probably an elephant or something....

It was a typo- I was thinking cc and typed cm... good catch.

You can mention it. Depending on what your physical exam shows, he might check your testosterone level.

Testicular size is random- some guys have huge balls (and complain about sitting on them all the time) and other guys have smaller ones (but otherwise normal function). As long as you had normal development during puberty, it's usually not much of a concern.

In extreme cases where there's a big difference in size between the two (or the loss of one testicle), there are implants. But there's not a way to make normally functioning testicles larger.
