What Causes Dark Discoloration In Scrotum After BM And Discomfort In Testicles?
Question: I have slightly dark colored scrotum that goes away with heat but returns especially after bowel movements. Also slight discomfort in testicles
Brief Answer:
I don't think you need to worry much about this but as you
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Slight variation in scrotum(darker or not) which goes away with exposure to cold or hot environment is mostly a normal finding as the skin of scrotum reacts in such a way to adjust to the hot/cold climatic conditions. This occurs as a protection to the contents of it.
I don't think you need to worry much about this but as you observed a slight discomfort in testicles, I suggest a physical examination should help in completely ruling out things.
Thanks
