My testicles feel like they are constantly moving. I find they move more when I feel highly anxious and other times not so much. Im not sure if becoming fixated on the sensation has made me hypersensitive to it. Any advice or similar feelings?

Does you anxiety cause shaking to some degree? Since the scrotum pretty much hangs there maybe it's a chance it's just picking up any shaking from the rest of the body that wasn't noticed?

I think what has happened is anxiety tightens all the muscles in your body and over time its probably tighened a muscle and entrapped a nerve. I suspect the psoas muscle or around there. It eases off after stretching this area and going to the physio. Hoping that it will go away soon.

I must admit I haven't really checked myself for any odd movements.

Hey there. Did you manage to sort this issue out? I am going through the exact same problem, I’m constantly checking my scroatum and panic when it’s tight. If you have any tips from your experience please share. Thanks
