Non functional: At your age of 26 , removal is advised as will have slightly  higher incidence of malignancy , as it is inaccessible  location to examine  , inguinal canal difficult to monitor , also always associated with small hernia . For psychological &amp; cosmetic  reasons silicone testis can be placed in the scrotum, to look normal

Question 3

Question 4

my scrotum is feeling itchy, flaky and pain when i try to move it. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See professionals...: Is it new or recurrent? But from what you described, in general, try avoiding any over-washing and any local physical stimulation. For the time being, try applying topical Hydrocortisone cream lightly and see for 3-5 days. If not improved, you should see a urologist or dermatologist timely, and don't second guess on line. 

Best luck...

Question 5

Benign: They are benign.No treatment is necessary unless you want themgine then options are electrocautery,laser or cryotherapy. Rarely do patients present with this as a complaint.

Question 6

should men wear underwear that provides support for the scrotum or is this not necessary? does the scrotum lose elasticity with age causing it to sag and hang lower?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, with aging scrotum can sag but you only need underwear with scrotal support if the sagging causes discomfort.

Question 7

what are painful soft swelling similar to bag of worms in scrotum?

Accepted Answer

Varicocele: Varicoceles are usually non-tender, but are classically usually reffered to as a 'bag of worms' almost invariably in left hemi-scrotum. Surgical correction for pain is contraversial because pain often not relieved by surgery. Surgery most often performed for preservation or improvement of fertility.

Question 8

is it normal for perineal area in males to be very prominent? it seems there is a bag hanging posterior to the scrotum.

Accepted Answer

Not usually: The perineum is usually flat. If this extends into the anal region, it may be a sign of hemorrhoids or skin tags. However, if there is scrotal swelling, pain, redness or sensitivity, then this could be something more significant -- and you should see a urologist.

Question 9

my child age of about 6 year have swallowedon the scrotum but no any pain problems to him  if operation do will it affect to reproduction?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Your description is vague.If the scrotal swelling is due to a hernia or fluid collection, the operation should not change his fertility.

Question 10

intermittent scrotum pain (usually one side but not always) for past year. could enlarged prostate caused by aging cause this pain?  i'm almost 45.

Accepted Answer

Scrotal: I don't believe that this is a prostatic problem. This discomfort may be caused by a testicular problem or mild chronic epdidymitis. A urologist us best qualified to evaluate and advise you. An ultrasound will probably be ordered.
