Why do some people have big scrotums?

A large scrotum usually indicates the presence of testicular and scrotal diseases. Common scrotal enlargement symptoms in clinical medicine, such as hydrocele, are caused by the increase of fluid in the cervix of the testis, which causes the testicles to expand in volume. The scrotum is enlarged in appearance and there is also a significant pain. In addition, if an inguinal oblique hernia is caused by abdominal contents entering the scrotum, it is also easy to cause scrotal enlargement.

Subacute infection of the scrotum often leads to scrotal gangrene, which can cause subacute necrotizing fasciitis of the scrotum and lead to significant scrotal enlargement. The above are the common causes of scrotal enlargement. If a patient has scrotal enlargement, he needs to go to the urology department immediately to identify the actual cause of the disease through relevant auxiliary examinations.

What to do if you have an enlarged scrotum?

If scrotal enlargement occurs, the first thing to do is to determine the actual cause of the scrotal enlargement. The most common cause of scrotal enlargement is that the scrotal contents have become diseased.

For example, orchitis, epididymitis, hydrocele of the testicles, or oblique hernia of the abdominal groove into the scrotum can cause the scrotum to appear larger.

In this case, you need to see a doctor immediately to have an ultrasound examination of the urinary system to confirm the diagnosis. If the enlargement of the scrotum is caused by inflammation such as orchitis and epididymitis, you need to start anti-infection treatment immediately.

If it is caused by male testicular hydrocele or ventral oblique hernia, surgical treatment is required as soon as possible.

What is the reason for one side of the penis to be larger than the other?

If one side of the scrotum is larger than the other, it usually indicates that there is a disease. Common pathological changes include hydrocele and scrotal mass. Hydrocele is a very common symptom. The normal tunica vaginalis is composed of two layers, inner and outer. There is a small amount of fluid in the tunica vaginalis, which has a lubricating effect. When the amount of fluid in the tunica vaginalis increases, testicular swelling will immediately occur, and then the scrotum will be mainly manifested as one side of the scrotum is larger than the other side.

For male hydrocele, it can usually be treated with surgery. In addition, the cause of testicular swelling can be seen in male testicular lumps. If a male testicle has a lump, it will slowly grow larger, and the sizes of the testicles on both sides will be different. The testicles of men with lumps will be significantly enlarged, and clinically, they will continue to feel pain.
