Your balls may look like they’ve dropped because you’ve reached puberty. But they don’t actually drop. Before puberty, boys have tiny tes*icless, and the scrotum stays tight and close to the body.

During childhood, a boy’s testicles can move back up into the abdominal wall, but they descend again. When puberty is reached, the testicles grow and no longer are able to fit into the opening of the abdomen.

Dr. Kathryn Akin answered 39 years experience No, they grow.: Testicular enlargement is the first physical sign of pubertal change in a male. Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.

Do your balls actually fall off? Sometimes balls can actually pop up into the body, in a place called the inguinal canal, and then pop out again. This can happen in extreme cold, or if you get frightened, or even through laughing really hard. It’s also possible to tuck testicles up into the body too.
