What is the cause of testicular pain?

Many men experience testicular pain during work. This phenomenon directly indicates that there is something wrong with the male testicles. Only through timely medical examination can the exact cause be found, so as to facilitate symptomatic treatment. If it is not taken seriously, it will lead to decreased sexual function and infertility symptoms. So what is the cause of testicular pain?

First, what is the cause of testicular pain? Testicular pain may be caused by inflammation. Infectious diseases such as orchitis, epididymitis, testicular tuberculosis, spermatic cord inflammation, prostatitis, etc. may cause testicular pain. For example: acute nonspecific orchitis, which often occurs in patients with urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, prostatectomy and long-term indwelling catheter. The infection spreads to the epididymis through the lymph or vas deferens and causes epididymis-testitis. Common pathogens are Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bacteria can spread to the testicles through the bloodstream, causing simple orchitis, but the testicles are rich in blood supply and have a strong resistance to infection, so this situation is less common; there is also chronic orchitis, which is mostly caused by incomplete treatment of nonspecific acute orchitis.

Second, testicular pain may be caused by trauma. Traumatic diseases such as testicular manipulation, epitesticular manipulation, testicular torsion, and vasectomy may cause testicular heaviness and pain. For example: testicular torsion occurs suddenly and violently, and the testicle and scrotum on the affected side will experience severe pain. When torsion first occurs, the pain is limited to the scrotum area, and then spreads to the lower abdomen and perineum. It may also be accompanied by vomiting, nausea or fever, and redness, swelling and tenderness in the genitals. As the spermatic cord twists, the blood vessels in the spermatic cord are blocked and the testicles lack blood supply. If not treated in time, the testicles will suffer from ischemic necrosis, turn black, gradually shrink and lose their function.

What is the cause of testicular pain? There are many reasons for testicular pain. Sometimes, if you suffer from orchitis, you may experience testicular pain and swelling. In this case, timely conditioning is required. If a man has gonorrhea, he may also experience testicular swelling and pain, so timely treatment is necessary.
