What Does A Lump In The Scrotum Indicate?

Yes Sir, For about the last 15 years, my husband has had a small growth in his scrotum, it has now grown to the size of a golf ball and is red with a fever. he hates Dr.s, nothing personal, he just does not like needles. I need too convince him he needs to get checked out.

Hello,

The long standing lump in scrotum with fever indicates possible infection in hydrocele which may be from past years.

He needs immediate attention to ER (Emergency Room), despite his desire to prevent further complications which may be devastating to his health.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
