Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
It appears from your description that you are unnecessarily worried about things like cancer.
Pain what you are experiencing in the scrotum could be due to inflammation or infection of testis or its associated glands.
Kindly get a clinical examination done by consulting a Surgeon in this regard.
Also, you can undergo a scrotal ultrasound scan to know what could be the probable cause for it.
If it is inflammation or infection, it can be treated by administering analgesic and antibiotic medications.
Do not strain yourself by doing streanous physical activities. Give adequate scrotal support. Take plenty of fluids to keep yourself hydrated.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
