Sudden testicular pain

The male reproductive organs are mainly composed of the penis and testicles, and the functions of the penis and testicles are also different. The penis is mainly used for defecation and ejaculation, and the testicles are mainly used to store semen. However, some men may experience abnormalities in their testicles, which is that their testicles suddenly become larger and painful. The testicles are located in the private parts of men, so this also causes panic among male friends. So what is the cause of the sudden enlargement and pain of the testicles?

Causes and common diseases

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, which is persistent. Microscopic examination of prostatic fluid can show a large number of white blood cells. Most patients are young and strong, and it is rare in the elderly.

2. Twist

Testicular torsion is one of the common acute diseases in the scrotum. It can occur in newborns to 70-year-olds, with 65% occurring between 12 and 19 years old. Generally, there is vigorous activity a few hours before the onset of the disease, or the testicles have been subjected to external force. Sudden severe testicular pain during sleep or rest is the first symptom of this disease and is also one of the main diagnostic bases. Some cases are accompanied by nausea and vomiting, scrotal swelling, and obvious tenderness.

3. Damage

The testicles are more mobile in the scrotum and are protected by a tough white membrane, so the chance of closure injury is relatively small. Testicular injuries are mostly related to violence, car accidents, etc. After injury, the testicles are severely painful with nausea, vomiting, and even fainting or shock. During physical examination, there are swollen testicles, unclear contours, or scrotal congestion, and obvious tenderness. B-ultrasound and CT are not only helpful for the diagnosis of this disease, but also can clarify the location and range of testicular injury.

4. Ischemia

Testicular ischemic pain is more common in the elderly. The pain is more severe, aggravated by activity, and relieved by rest. Prostatic fluid microscopy is normal, often due to sclerosis of the testicular artery 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.

Prevention

1. Loose boxer briefs are better for preventing testicular abnormalities. Loose and hanging boxer briefs are best for keeping the natural shape of the testicles, so boxer briefs are better than tight briefs and are a good way to prevent testicular abnormalities.

2. Testicular abnormalities require attention. Office workers who sit for more than 10 hours a day are more likely to get testicular cancer. This is something that testicular abnormalities require special attention!

3. Check your testicles yourself. They should feel like a firm boiled egg, smooth and firm, but not hard. Pay attention to any lumps and hard areas and do not ignore them, so that you can quickly identify any testicular abnormalities.

4. To prevent testicular abnormalities, you need to reduce fatty foods. A diet high in fat will interfere with the production of testicular hormones. This is related to the occurrence of testicular abnormalities. So it can be said that it is not the men who eat a lot of meat and drink a lot of wine that are more masculine. They may be good-looking but useless. On the contrary, those who eat a light diet, live a regular life, exercise regularly, and seem to live a very restrained life are more sexually competent.
