What Causes Swelling In Cord Between Anus And Scrotum?
Question: The line between my anus and scrotum is slightly swollen closer to the anus. It is painfull burning sensation. Can you tell me what it is?
Brief Answer:
A photo of the swollen line and following information are needed...
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
A photo of the swollen line between anus and scrotum is requested for a more specific opinion.
As you are saying that this swollen area is near anus and you are having painful burning sensation, then, this makes me think it might be external hemorrhoids. The photo will help determine/exclude it.
I want to also know if:
- you are also having problem with constipation? difficulty in passing the stool? diarrhea?
- you are having pain in the scrotum area too (your genitalia)?
- any medication taken on regular basis?
- any personal history of chronic diseases?
Looking forward to have the requested photo and info in!
