What Causes Constant Pain Between Scrotum And Rectum?

I ve been having mild but constant sharp pain in the Gooch area. (between the testicles and anus) It s fine when I sit or lay down mostly, but when I stand and move around the pain comes back. I m 20 and very active. Going to the gym and sports are regular routine and I m wondering if it s sports related or something else entirely. Thanks

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

There are many reasons for this pain. It may be due to fungal infection in the area if kept unshaved for longer time in hot and humid environment. Yes it may be aggravated by gym and activity if it is due to fungal infection as activity increases moisture down there. If you are obese, friction may cause infection in the area. Some people have this pain due to hemorrhoids.

You need proper evaluation by your physician.

Until then, apply Hydrocortisone/Clotrimazole cream along with Ibuprofen by mouth. If itching, you may add Loratadine by mouth.

Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime. In the start of your question write my name, and I will get back to you in no time. If satisfied, please click you found it helpful.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
