What Causes Testicular Pain And Purple Color On Entire Scrotum?

I have had slight testicular pain for about 2-3 days. I just went for a 3 mile run (which is not a unusually long run for me) and when I returned to shower it was hurting more. I checked and there was fairly significant purple coloration to my entire scrotum. I have had no trauma to the area

Hi there! Welcome to HCM.

Does the purplish discoloration disappear after some time? Do you notice it just after exercise? or does it remain the entire day? The reasons for the discoloration could be a fungal infection, or an infection of the tube draining the testis or even a disorder impacting the nerves of the scrotum. Since you seem to be in pain I would suggest that you meet a urologist and get a thorough checkup done.

Take care!
