Be careful if you use a condom that is too tight, which may cause incontinence!

Scrotal prolapse may be caused by varicocele, inguinal hernia, testicular hydrocele, epididymitis, or scrotal edema.

1. Varicocele

Varicocele is an abnormal dilation of the venous plexus within the spermatic cord, which can cause a sinking sensation in the scrotum. This condition is more common on the left side and may be related to venous valve insufficiency or anatomical structure. Patients may experience scrotal distension and pain, which worsen after standing for a long time or exerting themselves. In treatment, Maizhiling tablets, diosmin tablets and other drugs can be used as directed by the doctor to improve venous return. In severe cases, high spermatic vein ligation should be considered.

2. Inguinal hernia

When an inguinal hernia occurs, the abdominal contents protrude through the inguinal canal and may fall into the scrotum, causing scrotal drop. The mass may recede when the patient is lying down and become apparent when coughing or standing. Congenital inguinal hernia may occur in infants and young children, and it is often related to weak abdominal wall in adults. It needs to be treated with hernia repair, which can be performed tension-free using polypropylene hernia repair mesh.

3. Testicular hydrocele

Testicular hydrocele refers to excessive accumulation of fluid in the vaginal cavity, causing the scrotum to swell. Primary effusion is more common in newborns, and secondary effusion may be related to infection and trauma. A small amount of effusion can be observed, but a large amount of effusion requires a sheath inversion operation. During treatment, you can use cefaclor dispersible tablets as directed by your doctor to prevent infection.

4. Epididymitis

Epididymitis is often caused by a bacterial infection, which can cause the scrotum to swell and drop. In the acute phase, the symptoms are redness, swelling, heat and pain in the scrotum, and in the chronic phase, the main symptoms are swelling and swelling. Escherichia coli and gonococcus are common pathogenic bacteria. Treatment requires the use of antibiotics such as levofloxacin tablets and cefuroxime axetil tablets as directed by the doctor, along with scrotal elevation to relieve symptoms.

5. Scrotal edema

Scrotal edema may be caused by systemic diseases such as heart failure and nephrotic syndrome, and manifests as swollen and drooping scrotal skin. Local factors such as allergies and insect bites can also cause it. The treatment needs to be targeted at the original disease. You can use furosemide tablets as a diuretic as directed by your doctor for a short period of time, combined with wet compresses of magnesium sulfate solution to relieve swelling.

Patients with scrotal prolapse should avoid standing for long periods of time and strenuous exercise, and wear loose cotton underwear. Eat a light diet, limit sodium intake, and supplement with appropriate amounts of vitamin C to promote vascular health. If symptoms persist or worsen, you should seek medical attention promptly to investigate the cause and avoid delaying treatment. Daily warm water sitz baths can be used to improve local blood circulation, but the water temperature should not exceed 40 degrees Celsius.
