" Question During sexual intercourse with my girlfriend my right testicle occasionally moves upward into my body.  When this occurs, the testicle in question feels like a hard lump beneath my skin of my lower abdomen.  To move it back to the correct position, it is necessary for me to push the &amp;#039;lump&amp;#039; downward until the testicle reappears, and then apply pressure to the right hand side of my groin until the testicle moves back into my scrotum. This usually happens when I am having sexual intercourse in the missionary position, but kneeling up slightly with my thighs spread quite wide apart.  Whilst this does not cause me pain, it does cause some discomfort and considerable concern. I have never heard of this happening to anyone else.  Is it normal? Is it possible to prevent it?   Answer This is actually quite common &amp;amp;#8211; but your testicle needs checking out by a surgeon &amp;amp;#8211; fairly soon.  As is the case with a lot of guys, you have one &amp;#039;ball&amp;#039; that is located too high. So occasionally it goes into a sort of tunnel which is called the &amp;#039;inguinal canal&amp;#039;. When it&amp;#039;s in there, it&amp;#039;s more vulnerable to injury.  Anyway, please get yourself checked out by a urological surgeon. Your GP will refer you to him.  You might possibly need a small operation to &amp;#039;tether&amp;#039; the testicle in your scrotum. Best wishes.
