Scrotal inflation explained
Scrotal inflation or scrotal infusion is a sexual practice in which fluid (typically saline solution, but sometimes air or another gas[1]) is injected into the scrotum in order to make it balloon in size.[2] It carries a number of risks of serious complications, including scrotal cellulitis[3] and subcutaneous emphysema,[1] [4] and possibly fatal complications such as Fournier's gangrene or air embolism.[3]
