I've noticed that one of my testicles, the right one specifically, seems to hang lower than it used to. I'm 21 and just had a full body check where everything seemed fine, and the doctor checked my testicles but didn't touch them, just took a good look. I hit the gym pretty regularly and wear tight shortsI'm wondering if that or the lifting might be affecting this. I also have another medical exam soon before I start work on a ship. Could this lower-hanging testicle be something I should worry about?

It's possible that lifting heavy weights or wearing tight shorts could cause some temporary changes in the position of your testicle, but if your doctor didn't find any issues during your last checkup, it likely isn't a cause for concern. However, if you notice persistent discomfort or other symptoms, it's a good idea to mention it during your next medical checkup before heading to the ship.

I've been feeling this weird buzzing or vibrating sensation mostly in my right testicle for the last few days, and it's honestly kind of freaking me out. There's no pain or swelling, just this annoying vibrating feeling. Is this something I should be worried about?

The sensation you're describing could be due to nerve irritation or muscle spasms, often without pain or swelling. It's advisable to monitor it closely, and if the sensation persists or worsens, consult a doctor for further evaluation to rule out any underlying issues.

Had open varicocele surgery 6 months back is it safe to start running or working out now could it affect the veins

Six months post-op from open varicocele surgery, it's generally safe to resume running and working out, but it's crucial to listen to your body and gradually increase activity levels. While light exercise like walking is often recommended early on, avoid strenuous activities like running and weightlifting for the initial few weeks
