    The testicles always running up to the lower abdomen may be caused by testicular retraction, hernia, sliding testicles and other factors.

    1. Testicular retraction

    Testicular retraction is a normal condition. When the area is exposed to cold or sexual stimulation, the elevating muscles will contract, causing the testicles to retract above the scrotum. No special treatment is required and it will recover on its own.

    2. Hernia

    When an inguinal hernia occurs, the inguinal hernia will enter the vagina and cause it to move up, which may compress the testicles and cause them to move up to the lower abdomen. Surgical treatment is required, such as traditional hernia repair, tension-free hernia repair, laparoscopic hernia repair, etc.

    3. Sliding testicles

    The sliding testicle is placed in the groin area to touch the testicle and gradually push it into the scrotum, but after letting go, the testicle will immediately retreat to its original position, which is a type of cryptorchidism. If the testicle slips into the inguinal canal, it needs to be treated with orchiopexy surgery.

    In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by pseudocryptorchidism. The specific reasons require going to the hospital for examination and then targeted treatment.
