What Causes Heaviness In The Scrotum?
Hello, I sometimes feel a heaviness and pain on my scrotum. Sometimes after sitting down for a while, i stand up and i feel the pain and heaviness to the extent that i might not walk straight for some minutes. After a period of time it slowly goes away and i feel normal again. is this a medical problem?
