A member asked:

Swollen scrotum. is it dangerous? any home remedy? effect on sexual life.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See answer: There are many causes of scrotal swelling (medical conditions, infections, anatomical abnormalities, tumors, etc) and it is important to know the cause of your swelling. In a young male, hydrocele (fluid around testicle) would be a common, generally non-painful swelling. Testicular cancer and varicocele would be other causes of relatively non-painful swelling. Epididymitis causes painful swelling.
