What Causes Scrotal Swelling?
Question: I have enlarged sac the size of a grapefruit. No pain and can still urinate. Is it serious and can I do anything to relieve the discomfort till I see the doctor on Monday next. I do have bone mets and liver cancer. Being treated with chemo.
Brief Answer:
Reduce water and salt intake, supportive underwear
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this enlarged sac. From the information you have provided, this is most likely caused by your liver disease. This has led to fluid accumulation in the body involving the testes.
The best approach is often to reduce the amount of fluid by prescribing diuretics. However, you cannot get that without consulting your physician. for now, limiting your water and salt intake would be the best measures. Also, wear supportive panties to prevent excessive tension from building up and causing pain/discomfort.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications should need be.
