What Causes Swelling In My Scrotum?
Hi I'm a 17 year old male and I think my scrotum is swelled up, well actually it is in a contracted shape with slight increase in size. Also, my testes, especially the right one, seems to be a little tender. There wasn't and is no pain unless I tough the testes and apply a little pressure to it. I think it is because I slept last night with my underwear on which might have been a little tight. What is wrong with me and what should I do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you would have come to me, I would have done your testicular examination and see if I required further tests done. I would recommend you to visit your urologist and get your scrotum examined. Do you have any burning or itching while urination? Is there any penile discharge? do you have redness over the skin of testis? Do you have any fever? If you have none of these symptoms, then there is less likely anything serious. Still if your symptoms persist then get ultrasound of your scrotum done to rule out any hydrocele or testicular infection or cyst.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
