Botox treatment for scrotum - Can anything be done to sufficiently relax scrotum?

Question

Contraction and tightening of scrotum is causing testicular pressure and discomfort. Can anything be done to sufficiently relax scrotum?

Dana Goldberg, MD · Answer

Botox will work to relax the cremasteric muscles, which are right under the skin. But there may be a deeper cause to the tightness and discomfort. If you see a urologist, and you find out nothing deeper is going on, then 50-100 units of Botox would be enough to treat the muscle in that area. It will last about 4 months for most patients.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  I would recommend first speaking with your PCP and/or urologist to discuss your testicular discomfort.  Assuming they see no other issues taking place, a neuromodulator can be injected to provide muscle relaxation.  Hope this helps.

Joseph Franklin, MD · Answer

Yes.  Botox in the scrotum is a real thing.   Neuromodulators like Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and Jeuveau can be used to treat muscle spasms and painful muscle contractions.   However... would recommend seeing a urologist -first- to make certain that there are no other anatomic causes or etiologies of your discomfort.
