Is It A Matter Of Concern That I Did Not Wear Supporter When Working Out And Will It Harm The Scrotum?

i am going to gym for the past 4 months and did not wear supporter. Now i don't know whether my scrotum is fine or not as everyone is saying why I didn't wore supporter from the first day. I am totally freaked out that whether I'm suffering from any disease.

Hi,
Welcome to Health Care Magic, thanks for posting your query . I understand your concern.

Wearing a scrotal support during heavy exercise might prevent you from injuring yourself as the area is very sensitive and delicate. And also it might reduce the chances of an inguinal hernia though the chances are almost obsolete due to exercise. Its not a serious thing if you haven't worn a support all these months that you have been to the gym, as long as there is no pain or any other symptoms.

You need not be worried of any disease , as it does not cause one. If it really bothers you than you can still start wearing a support for gym.

Hope this helps , and answers your query satisfactorily .
Do write back to us if you need further assistance .
Take care ,
Wishing you good health .
Regards.
