Inguinal hernia.
The previous poster to this answer was incorrect. A hernia that extends from the abdomen into the scrotum is called an inguinal hernia, while a hiatal hernia is one where the top part of the stomach pokes through the hole in the diaphragm where the esophagus goes.
A hernia in your scrotum is called an inguinal hernia. It should be corrected since if it gets stuck down there, the blood flow to that section of intestine can be compromised and can lead to a pretty nasty infection.
sounds like a hernia, which is fairly common. Have it checked out.
A hiatal hernia can also be called a diaphragmatic hernia.
testis, orchis, ball, ballock, bollock, nut, egg I don't think there is a specific name.
no
Like the name says, it is a cancer of the testicles.
Some lifting and other activities can lead to hernia. Most hernias are the result of a weakness in a muscle that exists long before a hernia even appears. Many hernias are present at birth. Other factors, including advancing age, injury, and surgical incisions can help weaken muscles too.
The reason that a doctor performs this examination is to check for a Varicocele. A Varicocele is a swollen varicose vein that may be in the scrotum and is usually on the left side. The physician checks for a hernia, which is when a portion of the intestine decends into the pubic area, and possibly into the testes. When you cough, your abdomen expands/contracts, therefore moving the intestine if it has descended. The doctor can feel this, and determine whether or not you have a hernia. This question has been answered by a healthcare professional, not an M.D.
Yes, it is done in order to check for a hernia, you must be cleared in order to play organized sports. I have had one, it isn't a big deal.
Another term for diaphragmatic hernia is a hiatal hernia.
It is a special skin bag called the scrotum
While having one testicle that is larger than the other could signal a hernia, it might also be nothing at all. Many males find that their testicles are not exactly the same, with one being larger than the other or one hanging lower than the other.
