What Causes Heaviness In The Scrotum?
Hello, I sometimes feel a heaviness and pain on my scrotum. Sometimes after sitting down for a while, i stand up and i feel the pain and heaviness to the extent that i might not walk straight for some minutes. After a period of time it slowly goes away and i feel normal again. is this a medical problem?

HI. This is a surgical problem. This occurs most probably due to partial torsion of testis or may be due to hernia or infection as a very rare cause ( the pain lasts longer in infection ).
Better to consult the Urologist , when you are in symptoms so that on clinical examination and / or on ultrasonography and color doppler examination he can diagnose and treat you the best,
