Dull pain in the lower abdomen and testicles

Many men feel a dull pain in their lower abdomen and testicles from time to time. This symptom is very common and is a testicular disease, mainly caused by testicular inflammation. In most cases, it is caused by worsening of the disease. It is necessary to slowly adjust the condition, find the cause of the testicular pain, and treat it according to the pathology of the disease.

main reason

1. Orchitis. Orchitis is the most common cause of testicular pain in men. Orchitis is caused by inflammation of the testicles. In most cases, it is caused by worsening testicular disease. Testicular pain occurs due to inflammation. Moreover, the presence of orchitis can seriously damage the male testicular function and reduce the ability of the testicles to produce sperm. If not treated in time, it can cause male infertility.

2. Epididymitis. Testicular pain can also be caused by epididymitis. In men, the epididymis is located next to the testicles. Inflammation caused by infection of the epididymis can also spread to the testicles. Like orchitis, it can irritate the testicles and cause testicular pain in men. Epididymitis can also damage the testicles and lead to male infertility.

3. Scrotitis. Scrotal inflammation is also a cause of testicular pain in men. The scrotum is responsible for the growth and development of sperm, and also for the temporary storage of sperm. Scrotal inflammation not only stimulates male testicles, but also damages sperm in the seminal vesicle, causing sperm death, thereby reducing male fertility and leading to male infertility.

4. Other inflammatory diseases. The causes of male testicular pain include other inflammatory diseases, such as prostatitis, male endocrine disorders, urinary tract infections, etc. The presence of these diseases can cause male testicular pain.

Clinical factors

1. It often occurs after heavy physical labor, such as lifting heavy objects, etc., and it can also occur after intense sexual excitement. In addition, injury caused by transurethral instrumentation can lead to epididymitis, and epididymitis can also occur after prostatectomy.

2. Prostate infection and acute epididymitis induced by urethral catheter and intraurethral instrument examination.

3. Reflux of sterile urine into the vas deferens can lead to chemical epididymitis.

4. Acute epididymitis often occurs secondary to prostatitis. The pain in the scrotum often occurs suddenly and can radiate along the spermatic cord to the inguinal area and lumbosacral region. The pain is usually severe and is significantly aggravated by touch. At the same time, the swelling progresses rapidly, and the volume of the epididymis can double within 3 to 4 hours. The body temperature can reach around 40°C, and secretions may appear in the urethra. This may be accompanied by cystitis and turbid urine.
