The reason that a doctor performs this examination is to check for a Varicocele. A Varicocele is a swollen varicose vein that may be in the scrotum and is usually on the left side. The physician checks for a hernia, which is when a portion of the intestine decends into the pubic area, and possibly into the testes. When you cough, your abdomen expands/contracts, therefore moving the intestine if it has descended. The doctor can feel this, and determine whether or not you have a hernia. This question has been answered by a healthcare professional, not an M.D.

Why testicles kept out your body?
The testicles are outside of the body because the optimal temperature for fertilization and operation is below that of standard body temperature. This is why wearing "whitey tighties" may cause sterilization (aka they hold the testicles too close to the body which is too hot).
