I've been feeling my testicles getting hot most of the time, especially when I'm sitting. There's no itching or redness, just this warmth that's got me a bit worried. I've only been married for about 2.5 months. Could this be something serious, or is it just a normal thing?

sounds like you may be experiencing some discomfort in your testicles. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as increased blood flow, inflammation, or infection.

Additionally, wearing loose-fitting underwear and avoiding prolonged sitting may also help alleviate the symptoms. If the discomfort persists or worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
