What Causes Cold Feeling In Scrotum?

Question, I ve been getting a cold sensation in my scrotum area, like the way icy hot feels when you put a small amount on your skin and it comes and goes from time to time. I ve had this feeling over a couple years but doctors have said it wasn t an STD, but couldn t find a diagnosis either. I haven t had any lumps in my testicles either and I ve had an oncologist take a look. My family has a history of prostate cancer, could this be a symptom or am I over thinking it?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The "cold sensation in my scrotum area, like the way icy hot feels" is an unusual occurrence but not that unusual for psychologist / psychiatrists across the world. The lack of knowledge about sex and sexual organs could be your problem. The lack of knowledge triggers anxiety whenever you think or obsess about those. Such an obsession could trigger "feeling" of pain, where as the pain never exists. That is called, in psychology, psycho-somatic disorder.

You should stop thinking and obsessing about the "feeling" you are mentioning here. Obsessing worsens the symptoms. You should believe your doctors and that is it. I suggest you to consult a psychiatrist / psychologist for treatment, if need be.

Good luck. Take care.
