Question 1

a burning feeling under my scrotum. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

First clean and dry.: You should start by keeping the area clean and dry, using drying powders (talc) if necessary. Wear loose, clean underwear of hypoallergenic fiber. If the condition persists or becomes inflamed, get further evaluation by your primary care physician. A fungal infection such as tinea cruris (tinea cruris) may call for topical antifungals, or contact dermatitis may require Hydrocortisone cream.

Question 2

just had sex & when ejaculating i feel burning feeling in the urethra mostly on the tip and dragging feeling at right side of scrotum. whats this?

Accepted Answer

Prostatitis: The most common cause of the symptoms you describe is prostatitis.  See a physician for  examination (to include digital rectal exam) and diagnosis/treatment.

Question 3

frequent urination for 2 days slight burning sensation in scrotum i am taking anti biotics for a day ciprofloxin 500 still feeling burning sensation in my scrotuum not sure what this is ?

Accepted Answer

: Medicine will take a few days to work if you have a urinary infection. If you are self- medicating it is dangerous so pl see an MD or Urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime drink plenty of water.

Question 4

scrotal us revels no varicoceles& no pther abnormalities. after peeing my right spermatic vein swells and hurt. burning and heavy feeling in scrotum?

Accepted Answer

Hematuria: Blood in uring always needs work up.  See your doctor to discuss.  Is blood present in your ejaculate?  This is usually a benign condition, but should be evaluated as well.

Question 5

i do have mild hydrocele but i wanted to know whether it makes feel like burning sensation all around scrotum.?

Accepted Answer

It can: Hydrocele is a "baby hernia" and can cause discomfort around scrotum.Easy to fix with surgery.

Question 6

i applied strong burning cologne to my scrotum after shaving. 2 months later it is still red. is this dangerous and what can i apply?

Accepted Answer

Local irritation: Sounds like a localized reaction.  You can try a topical, mild over the counter steroid cream if the area is itchy and rd, but even a mild less potent steroid may be "burning" to the area.  Best to get it evaluated by derm to assure the proper diagnosis is obtained. Good luck.

Question 7

i have athletes foot and burning sensation under my scrotum?

Accepted Answer

Tolnaftate: A tolnaftate cream is still probably best for most athlete's foot, a diagnosis a lay person can make easily.  I'd apply it to the sensitive area on your bottom as well and see what happens.  Keep these places dry especially after you exercise.  If you don't get a good result in a week, physician's office visit is in order.

Question 8

can anything mimic prostatitis, and cause pain or burning in the scrotum and the penile shaft?

Accepted Answer

: "Burning" pain usually means the skin is involved. Prostatitis does not cause such pain -- the symptoms are entirely different. Penile or scrotal skin pain might be a superficial infection or other dermatitis.

Question 9

what causes a dry, chapped, itchy scrotum? what can i do to stop the itching and burning as well?

Accepted Answer

Jock itch: Sounds like you need an over the counter med for jock itch. I find the sprays work best. This is caused by a fungal infection of the skin. If this doesn't work, see your doc. Hope you feel better soon.

Question 10

i had a burning sensation after intercourse on my scrotum. it had never happened before. i do have a varecoele. could that be or what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A varecoele  can impinge on small nerves in the scrotum and that can cause various neurologic symptoms such as pins and needles, numbness, etc.  No worries if it causes no problems other than described, and if they are transient.
