My husband, age 62, had an accident at work. He fell 6 ft, backwards, bumped a forklift on the way down. After the fall he couldnt feel his legs at first, burning in his groin. Went to Dr, they took xrays, said he may have a fractured bone. Went in for a CT scan, results on Fri they say. Hes in a lot of pain. Initially after accident he couldnt urinate for 18 hrs. Today he woke up and his scrotum is black! Aside from the obvious problems, any idea why his scrotum would turn black? thank you.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The scrotum skin is very sensitive and thereispossibility that he might have injured the scrotum. Please inform his doctor and if necessary an ultrasound scan of testis and scrotum may be done. There can be bleeding in scrotum from trauma. Please do not ignore his problem.  Blackening of skin can be caused by bleeding into scrotum.
