Perhaps she hasn't noticed. But as long as everything is in good working order, it doesn't make any difference. I don't think it makes any difference to the chance of getting her pregnant, either.

Ok, if you have one testicle... wheres the other one? You assume that this was from a football injury?? well if it wasn't taken out then where is it?
If you dont know where it is, you should see a doctor immediately.

If she hasn't mentioned it then why worry? If you are worried about it then just ask her out right.

i know it is alot different but we have cats with the exact same problem, it's called monorchid, it is simply that the other testicle has not or will not drop, it may come down with time, it will still get her pregnant and if it buggs you you should just ask, i mean, honesty is a very important part of a relationship, if you want it to work you have to trust her to tell you the truth and not to care. don't bother going to the doctor, he/she won't tell you anything productive because there is nothing wrong, it's not bad, just different, there are surgeries to fix it but that's a cosmetic because it does not affect your health, in other words, don't sweat it. ;)

one more thing, most girls really care about whoever they have sex with so if she has had sex with you already then chances are she's not going to care if you only have one ball, just as long as that doesn't change how you feel about her.

If you want to know what she thinks about it - ask her what she thinks about it. She's not going to mention it for fear of hurting your feelings so if you want to know you will have to ask. I would venture to say that most women wouldn't care. Women tend to be insecure about their bodies so they usually wouldn't be hurtful about your insecurities with your body.

Hey there:

Just wanted to let you know that your condition could be "cryptorchidia" which means that your testicle may exist, but just didn't descend to your scrotum during your development. It's not such an abnormal finding as you might think.

But I contact you because of this: I'm an medical intern and for what I have read, patients with cryptorchidia have a higher incidence of testicular cancer.

Now, don't freak out. It doesn't mean that you will get cancer, but it does mean that you are not "medically ok". You need to go to your general practitioner and have him refer you to a urologist (homologous to a gyno but for men). They'll probably have to do an ultrasound of your abdomen and pelvis to find the hidden testicle (cryptos = Hidden), and probably run more tests.

Now, the most probable decision the uro will make is to get that ball out of there. Don't panic, it's minor surgery, most probably you'll just spend a day in the hospital and you can use it as an excuse to get pampered and enjoy the anesthesia trip.

I don't know what your age is, but if you're a kid suck it up and tell your parents, tell them to take you to a doctor! There's no shame in what you have, it's not your fault nor your parent's. It's just bad luck. So just blurt it out, don't be shy man, there are alot of people that are there to support you.

If you're an adult just suck it up and make a doctor's appointment, you need to have that checked out.

Bottom line is that you came here for advice right? Well you just got a free quasiconsult.

Assessment: Most probably you do have the ball but it got stuck inside "cryptorchidia".

Plan: Go to your doctor!!!

I really hope this was of some help to you. Being a guy I know it's hard to accept that you have something "not right" with the old twig'n'berries but it's for your own good to accept the fact and have it corrected (if medically possible).

Now, don't see things so grim, I have some info that might help you out and make you feel better. See how girls with small breasts get implants? (I love small breasts by the way) Well if it makes you really self concious not having a testicle down there, there are "testicle" implants that are being used for patients just like you. They are just synthetic balls, literally. It's pretty cool actually and you won't even notice the difference, much less your partners. Cool huh?

Don't be afraid of going to the doctor kiddo, it might be just what you were looking for. And it might help you get that "I don't have my ball" feeling out of your head. That will free up your mind and let you enjoy sex without worrying.

I hope you go to the doctor, I really really do, don't be scared, you have a problem and maybe it's hard to accept but hey I'm pretty sure once you get it in the open with the doc you'll feel alot more better. Why? Because you wont have that anxiety over "what the heck is wrong with me".

Take care, I wish you the best of luck.

Hope to read your opinion soon!

Good point, actually. If you only have one testicle, and can't remember how you lost it, then it probably hasn't descended. In that case you should go see a doctor and get a proper diagnosis.

If you had lost the testicle due to a football injury, then you would have known about it!

Listen to 2MuchThinking. This happened to my son. The doctors told us of the whole cancer thing just as 2MuchThinking said and I got his fixed! He was up runinng around and later that day and he has no real scars from it (incase you were worrried about it).

i dunno

i dont really like the ball part

i just like the stick of the penis

Whaddaya mean? The stick doesn't work without the balls.

> For an unkown reason I only have one testicle. I assume it's probably from a football injury but that's beside the point.

How could it be from a football injury? Testicles decend shortly before birth. Have you always had one or did something happen to the second? This is is the point of my question, above. It seems to me you would know if something happened to a testicle, football injury or not.

If you have always had just one, then the liklihood is that the other is up inside you. I'm surprised your doctor has not commented on the matter during a physical exam. You are at greater risk for cancer as long as it remains where it is. So, if it is indeed an undecended testicle, you should probably have it removed.
