What causes scrotal pain during defecation?
Patient: My son is twenty years old and has been diagnosed with Crohn s Disease. He noticed that sometimes when he has a bowel movement he has a pain under his scrotum. He says the pain is not constant. It is intermittent and after he has a bowel movement. Could this be related to the Crohn s disease? Doctor: Hi,  Yes, it is most likely related to Crohn's disease. The disease may involve the perianal region and may be presented with a pain in the area. You should contact your doctor. He may have perianal abscess or fistulas.   These are complications of Crohn's disease and should be properly diagnosed. Sometimes the diagnosis of the fistulas or abscesses is difficult and he may be ordered MRI.    Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
