Father with Pain in scrotum area!!	Quote \| Reply

Hello, I hope yall can help. My father complained to me about a pain in his scrotum are. He said that his testicles were pulled up real far into his body. He said that he massaged them back down into the sack and that the pain subsided but he still felt sore. It has happened two days now. He is 59 years old. Any help is appreciated!
Thank you

Pain in the scrotum and undecended testicle in alwasy a Medical Emergency. When the testicle becomes arrested in the abdomen, the spermatic cord that hols the testicle can become twisted (torsion).

This can obstruct circulation and cause the testicle to become gangrenous. Immediate surgery to straighten the cord and restore circulation can prevent the testicle from being removed.

Hope this answers your question!
