What Causes Swelling Up Of Scrotum In A Child?

My five year old son has what appears to be a rather large scrotum. There is so much skin it s constantly getting stuck outside his underwear. he s always been like that, so it s not exactly new, but I am wondering about future issues. are there problems I should be worrying about?

HI
Welcome
Do not worry.
Consult Surgeon to rule out common problems for painless swelling of scrotum. E.g;
-Inguinal Hernia.
Hydrocele.
Varicocele.
He would take decision for Surgery after Physical examination.
