The physician felt the scrotal sac to assess for tenderness and enlargement, which suggests a possible testicular torsion or infection. Palpation is a common initial diagnostic procedure for scrotal pain. The other options (measuring, looking, x-raying, tapping) may not provide as much information or may not be necessary in this particular case.
