Today Honeyloveyou will reveal 9 secrets about it for you. Even if you don’t have testicles, you can become a semi-expert after reading it~

01. Sperm factory

The testis, also often called the testicle, is oval in shape, and its main function is to produce sperm.

There are hundreds of testicular lobules inside the testis (which can be regarded as a production workshop), and there are about 2-4 seminiferous tubules in each lobe (which can be regarded as a production line). The number of sperm produced by these production lines can reach 130 million per day!

And men can also release about 400-600 million sperm every time they "eject". If they are not released, they will be reabsorbed and "rebuilt" to form new sperm.

The testes also secrete androgen, which can promote sperm production and the maturation of male secondary sexual characteristics, and is also an important hormone for maintaining sexual desire.

02. The testis has its own "temperature control system"

Judging from the reaction of the majority of male compatriots after being injured, the testicles are very fragile, but they are suspended outside the body, which is obviously not conducive to protecting them?

It turns out that the temperature of the testis must be 2-3°C lower than the body temperature to produce and preserve sperm normally, and the purpose of maintaining a lower temperature outside the body.

In order to maintain a suitable temperature, the testicles also have a set of "temperature control system": when the ambient temperature becomes low, the scrotum muscles will contract to draw the testicles closer to the body to keep warm; Sagging testicles.

03. The testicles should not be "overheated"

Wearing loose underwear (such as boxer briefs) can provide enough space for the testicles to regulate temperature, which is beneficial to the health of the testicles and sperm.

One study found that men who primarily wore boxer shorts had, on average, 25 percent higher sperm concentrations and 17 percent higher total sperm counts compared to men who wore other types of underwear. The results of this study are strong evidence.

In essence, it is still a matter of temperature. Try to avoid behaviors that cause the testicles to "overheat" such as wearing tight underwear and soaking in the bath for too long.

04. One testicle high and one low?

The left testicle is usually slightly lower than the right.

It is generally believed that this is because the testicles first develop in the abdominal cavity and then sink into the scrotum, but the two testicles do not descend at the same time, and the right side descends a little later than the left side, which leads to "one high and one low" Case.

There is also a saying that "one high and one low" can save space and prevent the two testicles from rubbing against each other. When caring for the testicles, you can also use Leten Future Pro to give the penis a workout so that you can have more perfect sex.

05. Testicles are sensitive to pain

The testicle is extremely sensitive to pain because it is distributed with very rich and concentrated nerves. Once it is hit by an external force, it will cause severe pain, and in severe cases, neurogenic shock may occur.

The testis is very important to reproduction, and because it is difficult to protect outside the body, a large number of sensitive nerves have evolved to facilitate people to identify dangers and take protective measures.

I believe that everyone has witnessed or participated in the playfulness of attacking each other's testicles when they were young. This is very dangerous. If the force is not well controlled, it will cause lifelong irreversible trauma.

06. Testicles are sensitive to pleasure

Secretly tell you:

An abundance of nerves senses pain as well as pleasure, so the testicles are often an erogenous zone. In the next intimate time, try stroking them, maybe it will bring you a different experience.

07. Testicles turning blue?

Who didn't have "Approaching Science" in childhood? This program has brought you a lot of after-dinner talk and jokes, among which "Master Blue Testicles" is impressive:

One of the uncle’s testicles turned blue. After finding out the reason, he chose to remove it. Then the second testicle also turned blue. Finally, it was found that the underwear faded.

But in real life, the testicles turn blue, and it's not because the underwear fades!

Some people have been abstinent for too long, or have not ejaculated after getting pleasure during sex, they may feel pain, and at the same time observe that the testicles are a little blue. color. Waiting a bit after this happens can usually provide relief.

Desires should be sparse and not blocked, let’s be happy when you are happy!

08. Common diseases

Orchitis, usually caused by bacteria or viruses, often has symptoms such as scrotum pain, swelling, high fever, and difficulty urinating. Once these symptoms appear, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Testicular cancer, which is one of the most common cancers in men aged 15-34. Testicular cancer tends to be detected later and is difficult to notice because the tumor growth does not press on organs or bones. Fortunately, testicular cancer has a high cure rate.

Cryptorchidism is the failure of one or both testicles to descend into the scrotum. Six months after the birth of the newborn, the testicles have not descended to the scrotum, so timely countermeasures are needed.

Testicular torsion refers to a disease in which improper rotation of the testis causes blood supply to be blocked or even interrupted, resulting in testicular ischemia, eventually necrosis, atrophy and infertility. Patients may experience severe scrotal pain, swelling, vomiting, and other symptoms that require a trip to the emergency room as soon as possible.

09. Is there any problem with small testicles?

The average length of a testicle is between 4.5 and 5.1 centimeters, and a testicle that is less than 3.5 centimeters in length is considered a small testicle. Since sperm is produced in the testicles, if you have small testicles, you may produce fewer sperm than average. Plus, a 2014 study also showed that smaller testicle size corresponds to lower sperm density.
