Question : My scrotum gets tight like I'm going to get a orgasm what's going on I'm 76 years old
Brief Answer:
Nothing to be worried about.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Based on the facts that you have posted getting tightness in scrotum is a natural phenomenon whenever there is sexual arousal or sexual thoughts in mind.
This is a normal physiological response and nothing to be worried about as long as it is not associated with any other urinary complains like frequency, nocturia with pain and swelling in scrotum and more common when bladder is full of urine.
Passing urine and emptying bladder usually resolves the issue.
Hope I have answered your query, please feel free to ask if you have more questions, I shall be happy to help you.

Dr. Patil
