Why is my scrotum uncomfortable?

If there is an abnormality in the male scrotum, it is necessary to check it in time, especially for middle-aged men. When the scrotum is uncomfortable, it cannot be ignored, otherwise it is easy to make the scrotum problem serious, which is also very harmful to the body. What is the reason for scrotum discomfort? Many men don’t know. There are some reasons for this situation. Let’s introduce them in detail below.

What causes scrotal discomfort?

1. Orchitis

Scrotal swelling and pain are the main symptoms of orchitis. The symptoms of acute epididymitis include: sudden high fever and increased white blood cell count, swelling and pain in the affected scrotum, a feeling of heaviness, pulling pain in the lower abdomen and groin, which worsens when standing or walking. The affected epididymis is enlarged and has obvious tenderness. When the inflammation is large, both the epididymis and testicles are swollen, and the boundary between the two is unclear, which is called epididymal orchitis. The spermatic cord on the affected side is thickened and also tender.

2. Epididymitis

Chronic epididymitis is more common. Some patients become chronic because the acute phase is not completely cured, but most patients do not have a clear acute phase. The inflammation is often secondary to chronic prostatitis or injury. Patients often feel dull pain and bloating in the scrotum on the affected side. The pain often extends to the lower abdomen and the ipsilateral inguinal groove. Sometimes there may be secondary hydrocele. During examination, the epididymis often has varying degrees of enlargement and hardening. There is mild tenderness, and the ipsilateral vas deferens may be thickened.

After understanding what causes scrotal discomfort, men should first undergo a physical examination when they experience scrotal discomfort, so that they can have some understanding of their specific conditions. In addition, when treating male scrotum, medication is the best choice. Medication does not harm the male body and is very helpful in improving scrotal discomfort.
