What Causes Severe Pain In The Scrotum?

Hello, lately i have been experiencing excruciating pain in my scrotum/nut sack.This excruciating pain i cant deal with tightens to a point that they feel like they are im my stomach at times. Only, that s not the only thing that i seem to can t control let alone understand are these random erections I m contracting out of the ordinary. This really has become a huge concern to me and my health issues at hand more even now that its becoming painful and harder to walk as i should. I haven t had no pain upon urinating. But upon urinating i feel a relief of pressure of some sort in the most relieving way. I ve been consoling with several friends of mine some say, It sounds somewhat of a hurnia Or eas i showing off in the bedroom a lil more than expected ect.... Now, Dr. with all that said i must be real with you. I ve occasionally within the past few days have been using the drug ICE which is around the time all of this started.

Hi,

This type of pain and location is suggestive of epididymitis which is inflammation of part of the testicle and this not uncommon in males especially in young age.

This is usually treated with 10 days of antibiotics, usually ciprofloxacin and there are no permanent consequances.

Masturbation and intercourse should be avoided till pain persist, if possible since I may prolong inflammation course.

Some more serious conditions such as tumors or torsion are rare but in doubtful cases, you should do Doppler ultrasound or scintigraphy.

In this particular case, I don’t think this is required and this should improve on antibiotic therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
