Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

To elevate the scrotum you need to wear tight fitting underwear to support it. When lying down and sleeping, put a rolled towel under the scrotum so it will be raised. We do this to prevent edema and fluid from accumulating in the scrotum.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
