Something Weird is Happening

Hi !!

For the last couple of weeks I have noticed (and this will sound strange!) that my testicles sunk inside my sack. Going in to the sides of my dick!

I feel no pain, they pop back out while I take a shower after each ride...

I admit my frame is a bit to big for me (59) I am 1.67m (not sure about inseam) Pedal strike is good, and my seat is as forward as possible.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Sorry for being so detailed. hahahaha

Visit your local bike shop and have a mechanic give you a check up.

asking internet bike forums about testicle problems might be the bigger concern

It's obvious you are puffing to much tree and your boys are shriveling up.

you should probably smoke more tree, and get a bike that fits, how does pedal strike apply to you destroying your manhood with a bike that doesn't fit you?

Is it cold weather? Shinkage applies to the twig AND berries.

Your nuts are being shoved back into your inguinal canal, an opening in the muscular wall of your abdomen through which your testicles descended when you were a fetus. Your spermatic cord still goes through there. Its pretty easy to painlessly shove your nuts back in there....they normally just fall back out, as you have reported. You aren't damaging anything and its probably nothing to worry about....your saddle is probably just pushing them inside. You should be more concerned if you have other stuff (like your intestines) pushing out of your abdomen though the inguinal canal into your scrotum (that would be an inguinal hernia). Try adjusting your saddle position, bar height, or wear different clothes and see if that keeps your nuts from temporarily disappearing.
