Why does my testicles hurt?

Testicular pain is actually testicular pain. There are many reasons for testicular pain. For example, if orchitis occurs, it often causes pain, which indicates inflammation. In addition, some people have relatively long testicular mesentery, which can easily cause testicular torsion, which is also an important cause of pain. If the testicles are damaged due to external force, it can also easily cause pain.

Why does my testicles hurt?

1. Inflammation Orchitis is a common cause of testicular pain. There are many causes of orchitis. For example, patients with mumps may suffer from orchitis, testicular pain and swelling. Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease with a high incidence rate. In severe cases, it can cause orchitis, testicular pain and swelling. Chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular pain, which manifests as unilateral pain, mostly dull pain or pulling pain, and is continuous. A large number of white blood cells can be seen under microscopic examination of prostatic fluid. Most patients are young and middle-aged people, and it is rare in the elderly.

2. Testicular torsion Testicular torsion is one of the common emergencies in the scrotum. It can occur in people from newborns to 70 years old, 65% of which occur in people aged 12 to 19 years. It is usually caused by strenuous activities a few hours before the onset of the disease, or external force on the testicles. Sudden severe testicular pain during sleep or rest is the first symptom of this disease and one of the main diagnostic bases. Some cases are accompanied by nausea, vomiting, scrotal swelling, and obvious tenderness.

3. Injured testicles are more mobile in the scrotum and are protected by a tough white membrane, so the chance of closed injury is lower. Testicular injuries are mostly related to violence, car accidents, etc. After injury, the testicles will experience severe pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and even fainting or shock. During physical examination, there are swollen testicles, unclear contours or scrotal congestion, and obvious tenderness. Ultrasound and CT scans not only help in the diagnosis of this disease, but also can clarify the location and extent of testicular damage. 4. Ischemic testicular ischemic pain is more common in the elderly. The pain is more severe, aggravated by activity and relieved by rest. Microscopic examination of prostatic fluid is normal, often due to testicular arteriosclerosis leading to arterial stenosis. Testicular artery atherosclerosis is often a local manifestation of systemic vascular disease, mostly unilateral lesions, more common on the left side than on the right side.
