Common Questions and Answers about Abscess in scrotum

abscess

Avatar m tn Some possibilities for this growth include swollen lymph nodes, infection, or abscess. Are there any growths on your penis or scrotum? The main concern is cancer, but only by seeing a urologist and having a biopsy of the growth can help determine this.
Avatar n tn Once there I was brought into surgery right away to remove a hematoma of the left hemi-scrotum. I remained in hospital for about 5 days untill the scrotum was properly drained. For the next year or so, the left testicle seemed fixed in the scrotum not allowing the testicle to move freely as before. There also was a small hole in the scrotum that never healed. While at an appointment with the urologist for another issue I mentioned the problem with the left testicle.

Avatar n tn i have a swollen bump between scrotum and anus showed up about 5 days ago. it seem to get large over the last 5 days. this last day it's become some what painfull and gotten larger. it is now 1 1/2 inches long almost from the scrotum to the anus. it seem between 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide. it's Friday and I cannot get to the doctor till monday at the earlist. part of the problem with getting to the doctor is I am unemployed and uninsured. What could this be ?
Avatar n tn ) been shaped lump in my testicle sack about an inch from the start of the scrotum in the back (an inch from the taint). there is no pain unless i squeeze it (i thought it might be a pimple) and then the pain goes away almost emediately upon releas of pressure. i must admit after three weeks i am getting conserned. i have no insurance so cannot get it checked by a eurologist emediately. could you please tell me what this might be and could i have testicular cancer.
Avatar m tn For about a week now, my entire groin area has become red and irritated. It itches and burns constantly. The red area extends from the space between my scrotum and rectum up to the creases between my legs and groin. It has not reached on to my scrotum or penis. Some areas have become a pale nasty color. The inner walls of my thighs have become swollen, making it very difficult to walk without pain. Also the entire area sweats a nasty slime that stinks and leaves my underwear wet.
Avatar m tn Hi, I had a right inguinal incarcerated hernia repaired in 2006. Currently I have noticed that my testicle is higher in the scrotum than what it used to be. At times I still experience pain at the hernia site. They used mesh to repair the hernia. This mesh feels like a hard service, much harder than the left side in which I had an orchiectomy in 2000. Just recently in 2009 I came down with an abscess on top of the hernia scar.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with a indirect inguinal hernia , but mine doesn't go down into my scrotum but goes upward pulling on my testicle cord. When it's out in its full glory, it's the size of a grapefruit and hurts pretty bad. Is this normal?
Avatar f tn Hello, Unable to come out, damaged body tissues or any dead biological organism like worms change into calcium and stay in our body and mostly they are removed surgically. Do you remember having any abscess in the area some time in your life? In any case you should get it evaluated by your doctor.
Avatar m tn I found a lump in my crotch today that seems to have doubled in size since this morning. It has also developed a very foul smell, only at the location of this lump. The lump is now close to an inch in diameter and a half inch deep. It is located just to the penis side of the juncture of the leg and scrotum, at about the same height as the penis. What the heck is this? It's Saturday night or I would be making an immediate MD appointment.
Avatar n tn Dont know if its the same, but my son had between anus and scrotum under the skin. It didnt hurt him too much and got pretty big. It was an abscess, which had to be surgically drained. Maybe yours is too?
Avatar n tn Hello, The first possibility is of a boil or abscess in the area. The second possibility is of a perineal hernia. It is a hernia involving the perineum (pelvic floor), mostly found in men and often appears as a sudden swelling to one side (sometimes both sides) of the anus. Second possibility which comes to my mind is of pilonidal cyst.
Avatar m tn The testicle itself seems to be fine no pain no tenderness is it possible the abscess is causing the tenderness in the cord? Or is this a possibly more serious problem? And I didn't think it was a torsion because of the nature of the injury and the testicle itself seems to be sitting exactly how it always does, also because in my online research I found lots of pain is associated with torsion. And mine is only slightly tender... Thanks agian, and I'll keep you posted. . .
Avatar n tn last night i was lying in bed when i realized that an area closest to the scrotum was sore. i felt it and it was a lump, i thought maybe a pimple. of course all these thoughts rushed to my head thinking that i got a std or something. i dont think its any form of std because i have been with my boyfriend for 7 months now and i never had a problem. i am very worried though. the lump is just red and is not oozing and is not white or anything but at the same time, it is sore at times.
Avatar m tn I've been experiencing some moderate pain in my right testicle. This has been on going for about 3 years. I've mentioned it to my doctor several times and he brushes it off as I'm getting older and it's natural with age. I'm 54 years old and in excellent health. In the past 3 years my right testicle has been shrinking. It's now about half it's normal size. Should I be concerned or is this normal with age?
Avatar m tn Penis head and inner forsekin has faint dark areas too with visible dark veins on inner forskin. Scrotum skin has a dark area below penis. The skin between scrotum and thighs has become bit moist, black rancid smelling and extends over little portion on inner thighs and scrotum. I also have small dark rough patches on both toe bends. I get occasional unbearable tingling on inner forskin, scrotum and under pubic hair. The forskin tingle increases when its moist especialy post ejaculation.
Avatar m tn For the last 4 months or so Ive had a thickening of the skin over my right axillae. I has a huge abscess in the area which resolved spontaneously after antibiotics. I noticed the irregularity in my skin soon afterwards. The lump hasnt increased in size but it wont go away either. Any thoughts??....thanks.
Avatar f tn Hi angel114, Typically if a abscess forms you take antibiotics,and if it's bad enough they have to also be drained,you can't really "cut out" an abscess,at least not without taking healthy tissue with it. Your grandmother should receive a pelvic exam to determine the cause and extent of the abscess to determine the correct treatment,a small sample may also be taken to rule out cancer beings she is post menopausal.
Avatar m tn An abscess is basically a build up of pus and infection in the jaw bone area. I assume that since you've seen a dentist recently, it probably would've been spotted at your last checkup as they generally develop from large cavities. There are abscess that also develop from gum disease as well but assuming you had a cleaning and check up, thats also a little more unlikely. Best to get it checked out and taken care of.
Avatar f tn More specifically it is called Amoebic Liver Abscess. The abscess, if it is one, is relative small and can be cured by antibiotics. No need to go in for aspiration. It is 100% curable. Also go in for a blood test along with a liver function test to test the levels of the enzymes. But, FIRST consult a good gastroenterologist. I wouldnt worry if I were you.
Avatar n tn painful lumps in the anus/rectum, pain and swelling in the anus or buttocks area, painful bowel movements, fever/ or night sweats, and abdominal pain. Antibiotics treat the infection that has caused the abscess. The specific antibiotic depends on what infectious organism has caused the abscess. Whether the abscess is drained or not, antibiotics are always used to treat the underlying infection. Needle aspiration of the abscess to remove the infectious fluid.

Avatar m tn I have this pimple on my scrotum. It is bigger than a normal pimple and smaller than a cyst. It felt like a little BB. hard with a white head. I popped it an blood and pus came from it. This was at 6:00AM around noon I squeezed it again this time a little blood only. I'm leaving it be to heal. No abnormal look or pain, just a bit harder than a normal pimple, but it is on my scrotum. I hope I am safe.
Avatar m tn For some time i have had dry skin around my scrotum area and it itches time to time while i try to manage it the best i can by not irritating it. Something showed up that bothers me and it really bothers me with as much as it hurts. Right below my scrotum a hard bump, small at first, but bigger now has appeared. Ive researched this a bunch but there are so many things i am just not sure what to call it. Its pea sized, painful, and very hard to isolate from irritation.
1666982 tn?1445198395 The reason I have reocurring fistulas was due to a abscess that was opened from the wrong direction, by a gynecologist. So maybe another abscess.
Avatar m tn Four months ago I developed pain in my lower left abdomen. It felt like a tearing/cutting pain and was quite localized. My bowel habits remained the same, but my G.P. thought it might be IBS and prescribed buscopan and trimebutine. They didn't have any effect and the pain got worse, particularly when I was sitting or physically active. When the pain began to radiate into my groin and left testicle my G.P. sent me for a C.T. scan.
Avatar f tn Either your husband has been bitten by something or you have developed an abscess. If it is an abscess it will need to be drained. Take an anti-inflammatory analgesic like ibuprofen and an anti allergic and see if that helps. If it is an insect bite, it will improve. However if the insect’s sting is left inside, then also it will not heal unless the sting is removed. Keep the hand raised on a pillow kept beside him when he is lying—basically avoid the hand hanging down.
Avatar n tn From what you are describing I would think it may be a Bartholin's cyst or abscess. The Bartholin glands are in the lower portion of the vagina and while the cyst isn't supposed to be painful, the abscess is and I would imagine if the cyst were big enough it would hurt. You may want to see your gyn about this. Also you can google Bartholin's cyst and you will get a lot of information.
