Testis rotation

The scrotum also becomes red and one testicle feels sore and swollen. The testicle is a small appendage which may also rotate. It is much more common than the testicle does. It also hurts but it’s not dangerous. But it is impossible to decide which type of rotation it is and why you should always seek emergency medical assistance in the first place.

If you do not know where it hurts

Inflammation of the prostate

You have pain in the penis and scrotum can sometimes be due to an inflammation of the prostate gland. There is a gland located around the urethra, about where the urethra leaves the bladder and goes out of the penis. An inflammation of the prostate gland is called prostate prostatitis. If you suspect this condition, you can get examined at a medical center. If you have an inflammation of the prostate gland, it can hurt the bottom in the back or deep in the abdomen, and the pain often radiates down the inner thighs and out of the penis and scrotum. It can also be difficult to urinate or you may need to urinate more often than usual. Sometimes ejaculating can also hurt.

Pain after you have been horny

It can hurt the scrotum, abdomen or genitals when you have been horny and excited for a long time and not had ejaculated. This is because the blood in the genital area increases as you get horny, and glands strapped out of the liquids produced at ejaculation. Sometimes it’s hard to know exactly where the pain comes from. Some feel it is the most in the scrotum or between the scrotum and rectum. Others feel it is in the stomach, or as a pressure of the bladder. It may feel uncomfortable, but it is not dangerous. Ejaculating is usually the fastest way to get rid of the pain. Otherwise, when the ache of arousal decreases, but it usually take longer if you do not ejaculate.
