tight scrotum

I have had concerns with my scrotum going tight when standing or active. It is loose when lying down or sitting. If I stand / walk over a short period of time scrotum goes tight. If I have a bath, lie down or sit down for a while it goes loose again.

What can cause this?

size changes happen to many during daily exercise, or change of temperature etc, I would recommend booking a visit to the doctor and put your mind at ease

I always seem to have tight scrotum. The only time I find it loose is in hot weather. When in the bath or shower I hang low but once dry it’s back up tight again, I’ve even tried loose underwear and still remain tight.

Hello there

Thanks for reply. Is this something you have always had as for me it’s only been like this for the past year. When tight do you have any discomfort?

only found I’ve had this problem for about 5 years, I went on testosterone injections due to Male Menopause and it was a side effects. I’ve now stopped all treatment but still have the issue. Never really had discomfort from it.
