Identifying the Signs

Dull or Sharp Pain in the Scrotum

Scrotal pain, ranging from dull to sharp, may be constant or intermittent, caused by injury, infections, or other underlying conditions.

Enlarged Veins in the Scrotum: Varicocele

Varicocele occurs when scrotal veins enlarge due to poor circulation, causing discomfort, low testosterone, and potential infertility, similar to varicose veins.

Lump or Bulge in the Scrotum: Causes & Concerns

A lump or bulge in the scrotum can be caused by various conditions, ranging from harmless to serious. Some common causes include

Feeling of Heaviness or Dragging in the Scrotum

Heaviness in the scrotum may indicate fluid buildup, vein enlargement, or testicular issues, often developing gradually due to underlying conditions.

Shrinkage of the Testicles (Testicular Atrophy)

Testicular shrinkage (atrophy) is a decrease in testicle size, caused by hormonal imbalances, reduced blood supply, infections, or medical conditions.

Types

Grade 1 (Mild)

The mildest form, not visible or palpable during a physical exam.
Detected only through imaging tests like ultrasound.

Treatment may be needed if it causes pain or impacts fertility.

Grade 2 (Moderate)

More noticeable and can be felt during a physical exam.
Veins are larger and more twisted than in Grade 1.
May cause mild discomfort or pain.
Treatment is optional but may be needed if fertility is affected.

Grade 3 (Severe)

The most advanced stage, with large, twisted veins that are easily visible and palpable.
Often associated with significant pain and discomfort.
More likely to impact fertility.
Medical evaluation and treatment are usually recommended.
