Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Hanging of testis lower with intermittent pain could be due to:
1. Hydrocele - collection of fluid.
2. Orchitis - infection of the testis.
Kindly get a scrotal scan done to know what could be the cause.
If it is caused due to fluid collection and hydrocele, it needs to be operated to drain the fluid and treat the cause accordingly.
If it is due to infection 'orchitis', you need to be treated with antibiotic course like levofloxacin, analgesics like ibuprofen and giving appropriate scrotal support.
Kindly consult Surgeon in this regard for proper evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
