Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Is retractile testicle a symptom of Hypogonadism? My left testicle has done that for quite some time. Since being prescribed depo- testosterone my testicles both retract due to the fact they are the size of almonds now. It's very uncomfortable when I go surfing. They will retract into the canals because of the cold water. I have to push them down into my scrotum before I lay on my board to paddle or I'm in for some serious pain.
