Why Is My Sons Left Scrotum Large?
Hi,
My 11-year-old son told me sometimes his left scrotum is much larger than the left side. So when he had the annual the doctor checked on him and said it was fine. But on that day it wasn't large at all. Later on he found it larger again. Should it be a concern?

Hello
Thanks for query .
Occasional increase in size of the scrotum could be due to presence of Inguinal Hernia and needs to be confirmed .
Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis.
If confirmed he will need to undergo surgery for hernia repair .
