What Could Inflating Of Scrotum While Coughing Suggest?
Hi.I have a painless problem.Whenever I sneeze,cough or blow my nose,something on the upper right side of my scrotum inflates.Its as if a bag is filled with air.If I keep my scrotum pressed between my legs,I can feel the place inflating a little bit and deflating back again because of the pressure of my legs pressing.I really dont know what it is and I am ashamed to goto the doctor.Please help me out here.Thank you.

Hello,
The symptoms are typical of hernia. While coughing the abdominal pressure increases and the bowel contents slip to the scrotum. Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated.
An ultrasound scan is required to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis of hernia is confirmed, surgery will be the treatment of choice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
