What does it mean if sometimes after lying down one of your testicles goes up under your skin?
It is normal for the testes to go up the abdomen if pushed that direction. ===ANOTHER ANSWER=== THE SCROTUM ON A GUY functions much like a thermostat. The testes have to remain in a certain temperature range to keep the sperm alive. If you are very HOT, the scrotum will relax and hang down to cool off. If you are COLD, the scrotum comes up and pushes the testes in your body to warm them up. So my first guess would be that your testicles are cold and are seeking warmth. ANOTHER reason is stress. If you are uptight, the act of lying down makes it easier for one or both testes to go up into your abdomen. Next time it happens, try relaxing all the muscles in your body, and do some breathing exercises to really relax. If that doesn't help, it's probably just a natural relaxed position for it. I wouldn't worry about it. The scrotum is just doing it's job. By the way; this is the reason why fertility doctors recommend boxer shorts for guys that are trying to have a baby. Tighty whiteies tend to hold the testes close to the body, and over time the heat diminishes the sperm. Also the same reason when guys get out of a pool or the ocean, their testes head north for warmth!
What would be the likely outcome if the testes remained undesceded?
1) In order for the male testes to produce sperm, the testes must descend out of the body and hang in the scrotum.2) Also, I have heard it said that a male should NOT use a laptop computer with his legs crossed, because that would heat up the testes and kill the sperm.
Sack that regulated the temp of the testies?
It's called the scrotum. The testicles has to stay at a fairly constant temperature to maintain sperm life. When it is cold, the scrotum constricts and pulls the testicles up closer to the body for warmth. when it is hot, the scrotum relaxes and will let the testicles move farther from the body to cool down.

Why do guys have ball sacks?
to hold there scrotum in place, out of harms way. a ball sack can shift up and down depending on the temp.
Why is it important for the testes be outside the body?
Sperm production requires an environment that is neither too hot or too cold. The cremaster muscles are those that will raise or lower the scrotal sac. If the testes are too warm, the cremaster muscles loosen and the scrotal sac will hand lower. If the testes are too cold, the cremaster muscles will control and draw them up closer to the body for warmth. So it's all about temperature control.
How far do your balls drop?
It varies from boy to boy and also depends on the temperature and the state of sexual arousal. The testes produce sperm better at a slightly lower temperature than the rest of the body so if it is warm the scrotum will tend to hang lower to keep the testes further away from the heat of the body. Colder temperatures and an erection tend to pull the scrotum closer to the body.
What can be done about your scrotum itching?
You could go pick up nystatin powder or get over the counter cream for eliminating most of this medicated gold bond might help
How does the scrotum keep the testes at a temperature slightly below normal body temperature?
There is a muscle sheath in the scrotum which lowers the scrotum when the temperature is high and hugs it tighter to the body when the temperature is low.
What increases the likelihood of producing adequate numbers of sperm for fertilization?
If a male has low sperm count and is trying to have a child, the most common thing for a doctor to suggest is for the male to wear boxer shorts instead of "tighty whiteys"..Sperm need a constant temp to live. The scrotum acts as a "thermostat" to maintain proper temp. If the testes (where sperm is stored) sense cold, the scrotum will "shrink" up to keep sperm closer to the body and warm. If the testes sense heat, the scotum will "relax" and hang lower to cool off. Wearing tight underwear keeps the testes up, close to the body and warmer constantly, which can kill sperm. The idea of wearing boxers is that it allows the scrotum (thermostat) to function properly; raising up when cold, lowering when hot. Thus, less sperm die and a male is more fertile.
Does your balls drop before puberty?
I am not sure waht you mean. Before puberty boys scrotums and testes are usually held tight up against the body. During puberty boys testes get larger so that they can begin to produce sperm. Testes produce sperm better if they are slightly cooler than the rest of the body. A boy's scrotum also gets larger during puberty to hold the bigger testes and to move them away from the heat of the body. the end result is that boys scrotums hang down during and after puberty. This process has been nicknamed "balls dropping." There is not usually any swelling of anything involved in this process. Could you be a little more specific and say what body part has swelled?
Why does a bull's testicles hang lower from the body than a horse's?
There are two reasons why. First of all, horses are animals that love to run. In order to prevent the testes from getting damaged and bruised from running, they are tucked up closer to the body. Cattle are typically too bulky and heavy to run (though there is no doubt that they are capable of running quite fast), so the testes are allowed to hang down a bit more. The second reason is that the longitudinal length of the testes of a stallion are positioned parallel to the line of the underside of the belly or the ground. This prevents the scrotum from allowing the testes to hang down so much and, anatomically speaking, makes the testes have to be held closer to the body. With a bull, on the other hand, the testes are perpendicular to the ground.
Will sperm build up and burst the testes?
No.
