Some diseases that cause swelling of the scrotum can cause scrotal swelling, such as hernia, scrotal rubber, testicular tumor, hydrocele and so on. There are also some diseases caused by scrotal enlargement, such as orchitis, epididymitis, varicocele and so on. However, some non-disease conditions can also cause scrotal swelling, mainly:

First, sexual life is not appropriate. Some men are lyrical and indulgent, pursuing temporary pleasure and satisfaction, and excessive sexual life. On the contrary, some men have too long abstinence or too little sexual intercourse, and they are full of scrotum and discomfort. In addition, masturbation or frequent use of inappropriate male contraceptive methods, such as urinary tract compression, etc., can make the sexual organs in a state of frequent congestion and congestion, and induce symptoms such as scrotal fall.

Second, strenuous exercise or emotional excitement, with the acceleration of blood circulation, the local temperature of the scrotum rises, so the scrotum is loose, the testicles fall and produce a sense of bulging.

Third, standing or walking for a long time will not only increase the local blood circulation of the scrotum, but also cause a certain degree of congestion in the testis, epididymis, spermatic cord, etc. in the scrotum, causing the scrotum to feel swell.

Fourth, often through the tight and narrow pants, especially the non-breathable chemical fiber nylon tight shorts, not only make the scrotum partially squeezed, affecting the smooth circulation of blood, and cause the local temperature of the scrotum to rise, wet all day, can also lead to The scrotum fell and it hurt.

In addition, men who are older and sicker are also prone to scrotal fall.

Scrotum fall examination diagnosis:

The main basis for the diagnosis of this disease is: (1) age; (2) progressive exacerbation of unilateral testicular pain; (3) color Doppler shows insufficient blood supply to the testicular side of the affected side. There is no effective method for treatment. Vasodilators, enteric-coated aspirin and calcium channel blockers can be used. For those who have severe pain and are ineffective in the above treatment, the orbital orchiectomy may be considered.

Frequently feel the scrotum sinking heavily, or full of discomfort, accompanied by pain. Under normal circumstances, the testicles will not cause pain, and the testicles will be painful, indicating that the testicles are sick and need to be examined and treated in time.

Differential diagnosis

Symptoms of scrotal fall:

Scrotal scrotal pain: orchitis, epididymitis is one of the common causes of scrotal swelling. More than fever, epididymis, acute swelling of the testicles and acute exacerbation of pain, later turned into chronic, the pain will follow, and when it is light and heavy. Sometimes the patient can feel a painful little hard knot in the scrotum.

Scrotal swelling: Scrotal swelling refers to the scrotal skin and its contents (the sheath testis, epididymis and spermatic cord) have lesions, or the contents of the abdominal cavity (ascites viscera) fall into the human scrotum, resulting in an increase in the size of the scrotum.

The spermatic cord is thickened and swollen: the thickening and swelling of the spermatic cord is one of the symptoms of spermatic inflammation. After getting spermatic inflammation, inflammation can cause thickening and swelling of the spermatic cord. When it adheres to surrounding tissues, scrotal swelling, lower abdominal pain and perineal traction pain can occur. If the infection is serious, there may be systemic reactions such as fever and headache.

Simple spermatic cords are rare, mostly caused by the spread of infections in other parts of the reproductive system. The disease is more acute, the spermatic cord is thicker, the local pain is more obvious, and it can be radiated along the spermatic cord to the groin, even the upper or lower abdomen. Check the surface of the skin redness and swelling, the spermatic cord is spindle-shaped or strip-like thickening, tenderness is obvious, and the vas deferens is unclear. There is a sense of fluctuation after the abscess is formed.

Penile and scrotal edema: masturbation, sexual life is too rough, too frequent, penile cavernitis, etc. can cause blood flow back in the penis blocked, causing penile edema. Scrotal edema will have swelling on the appearance, or the scrotum on one side is larger than the other side, inconvenient, easy to be injured, sometimes combined with swelling and pain, and even affect the blood circulation of the testicle due to excessive water accumulation, which will cause testicular atrophy over time. Affects the ability of the testes to produce sperm in the future, causing infertility.
