Signs and symptoms of scrotal masses vary depending on the abnormality. Signs and symptoms might include:  An unusual lump   Sudden pain   A dull aching pain or feeling of heaviness in the scrotum   Pain that radiates throughout the groin, abdomen or lower back   Tender, swollen or hardened testicle   Tender, swollen or hardened epididymis (ep-ih-DID-uh-miss), the soft, comma-shaped tube above and behind the testicle that stores and transports sperm   Swelling in the scrotum   Redness of the skin of the scrotum   Nausea or vomiting   If the cause of a scrotal mass is an infection, signs and symptoms also might include: Fever   Urinary frequency   Pus or blood in the urine  When to see a doctor Seek emergency medical care if you develop sudden pain in your scrotum. Some conditions require prompt treatment to avoid permanent damage to a testicle. See your doctor if you detect a lump in your scrotum, even if it's not painful or tender, or if you experience other symptoms of a scrotal mass. Some scrotal masses are more common in children. See your doctor if your child experiences symptoms of a scrotal mass, if you have any concerns about the development of the genitals or if a testicle is “missing” — an undescended or retractile testicle, which might increase the risk of some scrotal masses later in life.
