penis balls - #17414

I’ve been having some discomfort in my genital area, and I’m not sure if it’s something serious or just an issue with hygiene or clothing. I’ve noticed that my penis and balls (scrotum) have been feeling more sensitive than usual, and sometimes there’s mild pain or a dull ache, especially when I’m sitting for a long time or wearing tight underwear. I’ve also noticed some swelling around my balls, which has me worried about what might be going on. I’m a bit embarrassed to talk about it, but I’m hoping to get some advice on whether this is a common issue or if it requires medical attention. I’m wondering if the discomfort in my penis and balls could be related to something like epididymitis, a hernia, or even a sexually transmitted infection (STI). I’ve heard that conditions like these can cause pain and swelling in the genital area, and I’m not sure if I should be concerned or if it’s just something that will go away on its own. I’ve been keeping the area clean and wearing looser clothing, but the discomfort persists. Are there any specific symptoms I should look for that could indicate a more serious issue, like a testicular infection or torsion? I’ve also heard that stress or anxiety can sometimes cause pelvic discomfort, so I’m wondering if that could be contributing to the pain. What are some possible causes of discomfort or swelling in the penis and balls, and when should I see a doctor for further evaluation? Should I get an ultrasound or other tests to rule out any serious conditions? Has anyone else experienced similar discomfort in their genital area? What did you find out, and how did you manage the situation?
