What Causes Redness And Warm Feeling In Scrotum?

I am concerned about having a slightly red scrotum. It feels warmer than usual and comes and goes. I have recently changed jobs and it is very stressful. I am in sales and have to travel out of state a lot leaving my wife to take care of our 2 year old and she works full-time.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.

Red scrotum may indicate torsion or epididimitis. Epididimitis is inflammation of part of testicle. This is usually treated with 10 days of antibiotics, usually ciprofloxacin and there are no permanent consequances. MAsturbation and intercourse should be avoided till pain persist, if possible since I may prolong inflammation course. Some more serious conditions such as tumors or torsion are rare but in doubtful cases you should do Doppler ultrasound or scintigraphy. In this particular case, I don’t think this is required.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
