Scrotal Conditions
Scrotal conditions refer to various medical issues affecting the scrotum, the pouch of skin that holds the testes. Common conditions include hydrocele, which is a fluid-filled sac, and varicocele, characterized by enlarged veins. These conditions can cause discomfort and may require medical evaluation.
Another common issue is epididymitis, an inflammation of the epididymis, often due to infection. Testicular torsion is a serious condition where the spermatic cord twists, cutting off blood supply to the testes. Prompt medical attention is crucial for all scrotal conditions to prevent complications.
