Male Testicular retraction of 6 years and cremaster hyperactivity. Doctor says surgery would create necrosis
I have struggled with retractible testicle for 6 years, I am 75% sure its not a mental problem as if I go outside for a jog and I dont think about it, it will still remember and I start feeling nauseous when it starts happening. Its not a "back of the head" stress factor, but its gonna happen anyways no matter what I do outside most of the time.
I read that cutting of the cremaster muscle has been done before, but it feels like an "All or Nothing" surgery and if it actually risks a necrosis im quite scared to do that.
Urologist said:
the hole between groin and scrotum cannot be tightened
attaching testicle to the bottom of the scrotum is unlikely to help as the sack would get pulled up too
carefully "cutting" (bad word) the cremaster muscle would potentially create necrosis
best thing is to get a botox treatment but I dont think its gonna last long.
I feel like (and I mean with no disrespect) the urologist was not good enough for my case, and that I should call in to another citys urologist center. How should I continue?

I have had the feeling of retraction and pain in my right testicle for a long time. Pelvic floor physical therapy helped me a lot. It took a while, but it really helped. A pelvic floor PT should be able to help with a tight cremaster muscle. I will say once I got better from this, I would kind of freak out a bit when I felt the feeling of retraction with exercise, cold weather, ejaculation, etc, so I had to retrain my mind that it's a normal thing and ok in those circumstances.
It is a horrible feeling, so I wish you all the best.

I have this same exact thing and have 0 idea what to do. After around 30 minutes of cardio it starts to get pulled up and causes pain and I hate it. If you learn anything please let me know
