Sudden, severe pain needs immediate attention because it may be testicular torsion - a medical emergency - however most causes are properly investigated and treated by a urologist.
Especially alongside nausea or vomiting. This may be testicular torsion, a medical emergency needing immediate surgery to save the testicle.
A sudden twisting of the spermatic cord, cutting off blood supply to the testicle. A medical emergency requiring immediate surgery.
Epididymitis or orchitis cause inflammation, swelling, redness and warmth in the scrotum.
A build-up of fluid, or enlarged veins around the testicle, often causing a heavy or aching feeling.
Abdominal tissue protruding into the scrotum, or a lump that needs prompt assessment to rule out a tumour.
