Testicular torsion is an emergency, since interruption of the blood supply can lead to tissue death of the affected testicle. Inflammation of the testicle (orchitis) or epididymis due to any cause can also lead to testicular swelling. Other causes include anatomical abnormalities, infections, hernia, and tumors. A hydrocele is a benign buildup of fluid around a testicle that can appear as testicular or scrotal swelling. A varicocele is the enlargement of veins within the scrotum and does not involve the testicles themselves.
The scrotum (or scrotal sac) is a part of the external male genitalia located behind and underneath the penis. It is the small, muscular sac that contains and protects the testicles, blood vessels, and part of the spermatic cord. The scrotum is divided internally into two compartments by a septum and each compartment contains a testicle. The scrotum protects the testicles from temperature changes.
