A swollen scrotum, known as scrotal swelling, is characterized by an increase in size and/or the presence of fluid or mass in the scrotum, the pouch of skin that contains the testicles. This condition can occur due to various underlying causes. Common causes include fluid accumulation, such as in hydrocele, where fluid collects around the testicle; infection or inflammation, such as in epididymitis or orchitis; and injury or trauma to the scrotum. Conditions like varicocele, where veins within the scrotum become enlarged, or hernia, where abdominal contents protrude into the scrotum, can also cause swelling. More serious causes might include testicular torsion, a medical emergency where the testicle twists and impairs blood flow, or testicular cancer.
Treatment for a swollen scrotum depends on the underlying cause. For conditions like hydrocele or varicocele, if symptoms are mild or not causing significant discomfort, observation may be sufficient. In cases of infection or inflammation, antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed. For testicular torsion, immediate surgical intervention is required to restore blood flow and prevent permanent damage. Hernias or persistent swelling causing significant discomfort may also require surgical correction. Pain management and supportive measures, such as wearing supportive underwear, can help alleviate discomfort. A thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional is essential to accurately diagnose the cause of scrotal swelling and to determine the most appropriate treatment to address both symptoms and underlying conditions.
