Why does my scrotum hurt so much?

No matter what the cause is, burning pain in the scrotum is an abnormal phenomenon, so patients and friends should pay close attention to it. For male friends, the scrotum has been in an unattractive position for a long time, so when there is a problem with the male's scrotum, it is often difficult to detect it at the first time.

1. If you consider it is the acute stage of epididymitis (3 to 4 days), you should rest in bed. Applying a scrotal support can alleviate the symptoms. A homemade larger scrotal support with a cotton pad will be more comfortable to use. Painkillers can be used for severe pain, and local heat therapy can relieve symptoms and promote the resolution of inflammation. However, premature use of heat therapy can aggravate pain and risk promoting the spread of infection, so it is advisable to use ice packs for local cold compresses in the early stage. Sex and manual labor can aggravate the infection and should be avoided.

2. This condition is often caused by itching and stinging caused by scrotal eczema. It is best to go to the urology department of the hospital for examination. After it is clear, use potassium permanganate warm water for sitz bath, keep it clean and dry, and combine it with oral anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

3. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this area is where the liver meridian circulates, and its discomfort is closely related to the liver and gallbladder. You can go to a local Chinese medicine doctor and describe in detail the discomfort in other aspects of the body with the doctor, and then conduct a comprehensive analysis based on the tongue coating and pulse to make a clear diagnosis.

5. It may be varicocele, which can cause abnormal temperature regulation of the scrotum and affect sperm maturation. It is a common cause of infertility. You can go for a color ultrasound examination of the male genitals. If secondary factors are ruled out, surgery should be done as soon as possible.
