The fetal testis descends into the scrotum through a structure called the inguinal canal. This canal is a passage in the lower abdominal wall that allows the testis to move from the abdomen to the scrotum during development.
In males, the scrotum holds the testis. In puberty the testis grow in size and so the scrotum also grows bigger.

The female ovaries are generally developed about 100 days after fertilization. The male testis do not descend into the scrotum until the ninth month of development although this sometimes occurs after birth.
To check if the testis has not descended, a healthcare provider typically performs a physical examination, palpating the scrotum to locate the testis. If a testis is not felt in the scrotum by the age of 6 months, further evaluation may be needed. Ultrasound or other imaging techniques can be used to determine the location of the undescended testis. If necessary, referral to a specialist may be required for possible surgical intervention.
The scrotum, the sack contains testis. During puberty testis increase in size and the scrotum also becomes bigger.
