Scrotal / Testis Pain:
| Scrotal pain can be a sign of inflammation of the testicle or the surrounding tissue like an epididymitis. It is usually associated with scrotal swelling and sometimes dysuria or fever. In such cases, you should consult your doctor for further diagnosis.
Sudden (acute) and severe scrotal pain, especially in children or teens and often after physical activity, can be a sign that blood supply to the testicles has been cut off (testicular torsion). This can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. A prompt treatment of testicular torsionis required, since irreparable damage to the testicle might occur after only a few hours. If your child reports scrotal pain or you experience sudden or severe scrotal pain, you should consult a doctor immediately. Scrotal pain can also occur after accidents or injuries such as a kick or hit to the scrotum. Such blunt trauma to the scrotum can cause injuries to the testicle and/or scrotal bruising (hematoma). You should consult a doctor immediately. |
