Throughout The Day, I Would Get A Feeling Of “rumbling”

Posted on Tue, 18 Aug 2020

Question: Throughout the day, i would get a feeling of “rumbling” in my scrotum that feels a little like a stomach rumbling or a fasciculation. Sometimes it happens for a long time, sometimes it comes and goes. There is no pain. I had a scrotal exam a few months ago with no mass found, and an ultrasound that found a varicocele. What can explain the rumbling feeling?

Apologies. I meant to say HYDROCELE, not varicocele

There is no explanation about hydrocele with rambling or a fasciculation feeling in scrotum.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question XXXXXXX Hope I can be of help for you today.

Through reading your query I would like to help you with this question. Hydrocele is a buildup of fluid inside the scrotum. The scrotum is the skin sac that holds the testicles.Older and adult men can also get hydroceles. Hydrocele usually does not cause symptoms, except when they get very large. When it does, the symptoms can be pain or discomfort in the scrotum, feeling as though the scrotum is heavy or full, swelling or irritation in the skin around the scrotum. Your symptom with rumbling or a fasciculation in your scrotum, you meant something movement in your scrotum? How long do you have it? When it feels rumbling or a fasciculation do you feel any bulging or protrudes? There is no explanation about hydrocele with rambling or a fasciculation feeling in scrotum. Let me know more of your history.

I hope that can help you, and please let me know if you have any clarification or question about that, and I would be welcome to discuss it with you further. I Hope you have good health.

Best regards,
Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey, General and Family Physician

Hello,

I think I have had it for a long time but only notice it recently because it is more frequent. It probably happened for years but every few days. I can not pinpoint the exact time it started.

There is no pain or any other symptoms. My hydrocele would sometimes fill up and it will drain itself when I lay down. The filled up will feel heavy but I don’t feel anything else.

When it rumbles, I try to feel if there is any movement in the scrotum but there is not. The rumbling feels like it is coming from just a little bit behind the scrotum. It feels like the same rumbling you get in your stomach when you have gas or if you are hungry.

I worry because I don’t know if it is rumbling or if it is muscle twitching, even though I don’t see any visual movement. Is it possible this is a GI gas issue that occurs very close to the scrotum?

I also have 3 bulged lower back discs, could that cause it?

Answered by Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey (6 hours later)

Brief Answer:
The bulge of vertebral discs is not related to the rumbling in the scrotum. Possible from the movement of the intestine in behind your scrotum.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your clarification. The bulge of vertebral discs is not related to the rumbling in the scrotum. Possible from the movement of the intestine in behind your scrotum. Make sure with your doctor that there is no any hernia from your intestine to your scrotum.
