What Causes Swollen Scrotum?

left side of scrotum, just above and outside of the sack has become swollen and kind of hard over the last 24 hours. There doesn t seem to be any interference with urination, nor pain or swelling in the sack , but I m concerned about it and it is the weekend... Are there glands or lymph nodes in this area that could be infected?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
Scrotal skin is very sensitive to temperature, it is loose in summer and little hard and help up towards body in winter to maintain temperature. Varicocele is also very common on left side. So, please visit a surgeon if there is swelling/other symptoms for investigation and further management. All the best.
