Why Am I Unable To Conceive At This Time?
Sometimes when my fiancé and I are having intercourse his right testicle floats up in his groin area. I occurs mostly when he is on his back and bot every time. He says it isn t painful. He just reaches down and pushes it back down. He also says it has not always been like that. Started about five years ago. Just think its odd. Thought those little guys were anchored down or something.. We are trying to get pregnant and I wondered if this was a substantial problem.. What is this issue, and can we fix it.

Hello, and i hope I can help you today.
Your fiance most likely has a small hernia in his testicle. When boy babies are born, the testicles drop from the groin through a canal into the scrotum. This canal can stay open in some people and the testicle can slip into the canal.
A man's testicles need to be outside the body to remain cooler than regular body temperature for sperm to develop properly. Just to be safe, if you are trying to get pregnant, your fiance should see his primary doctor or a urologist for an examination to make sure there is nothing to be concerned about. If the testicle goes up into the groin and gets stuck and he cannot push it back down, your fiance should go to an emergency room as the blood supply to the testicle can be compromised.
I hope I was able to answer your question today and that this information was helpful.
Best wishes, and good luck with getting pregnant,
Dr. Brown
