For anyone reading this who might have anxiety, I had this problem and it just turned out that I really need better support during the day. Boxers weren’t cutting it.
With that said, yes definitely consider seeing a doctor.
Alternatively, as a form of scrotal elephantiasis, it could be a parasitic infection, swollen lymph nodes from either disease or medical procedures like radiotherapy, or more rarely a hernia that causes the intestines to drop into the scrotum.
I know that these stories are often accused of being fake, but I guess I don't understand the context of the response. It seems like the responder is saying "go to the doctor regardless of whether you actually have a problem requiring a doctor." Which I guess could be good advice in some circumstances, but ... Maybe I'm just taking things too literally.
The anon got it wrong. These are ">" or "greater than" symbols, not arrows, although they look like arrowheads. They are used to signal a quote, which makes the text green on 4chan or inside a quote block on other platforms. In 4chan culture, the resulting greentext is not a quote, it has a meaning of its own.
The actual implication arrow, used in mathematical logic for statements like "if A, then B" or "A implies B", is "⇒" or "rightwards double arrow" in Unicode. Using ASCII characters, it can be written as "=>".

I was perfectly fine without the knowledge that that can happen.

What do they imply?

Thanks for the answer!

I think it's that people understand that 99% of green text stories are not real, so the reply is just saying yo if this is real, go to a doc.
Maybe I'm wrong tho

Thank you.

It's just how a quote reply works on 4chan but the meaning has expanded.
Edit: as in, instead of quoting the actual comment I reply to, I summarize it as "implying ____"

Can you tie em in a knot, can you tie em in a bow?
Do you get a funny feeling, when you hang em from the ceiling?
