The scrotum is a part of the male body that holds the testicles.
You might hear this word when talking about men's health or sex education. Some people might use it to describe an injury or condition that affects this area, and doctors will certainly use it to explain what's happening with a patient's body. It's also not uncommon for people to refer to this part of the body in certain medical contexts, like discussing circumcision or vasectomy procedures.
(anatomy) The sac of skin and muscle that contains the testicles in most placental (boreoeutherian) mammals.
