About the symptom

Discomfort in the scrotum, a sac-like body part in men located below the penis and contains the testicles. There can be a many causes of scrotal pain. If it lasts longer than 2 hours then seek immediate medical attention as this could be serious.

When to see a doctor

Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms

  • Scrotal or testicle pain

Possible causes

  • Varicocele

    A varicocele is a condition where the veins in your scrotum become enlarged. The exact cause is unknown, but experts believe that it may be due to defective valves in the veins within your scrotum. The valves regulate the flow of blood to and from the testicles. It may also occur from compression of a vein by nearby structures. Varicoceles may lead to decreased sperm production and quality.

  • Hydrocele

    A swelling of the scrotum caused by fluid collecting in the space around a testicle. It is common in newborns, older boys, and men and can be caused by inflammation or injury.

  • Testicular tumor

    A testicular tumor is a lump or swelling on either testicle. The tumor may be benign, which doesn't spread to other parts of the body, or malignant, commonly known as cancerous, which means it can spread to other parts of the body. Testicular cancer is usually first seen as a pea-sized hard lump but it can grow much larger. Pain, discomfort, or numbness in the affected testicle might be present.

Related serious diseases

  • Epididymitis

    Epididymitis is the swelling and inflammation of the epididymis, a tube at the back of the testicle that carries sperm. Epididymitis is most commonly caused by bacterial infections, including sexually-transmitted infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea.

  • Testicular torsion
