What causes testicular pain?

What causes testicular pain? When male testicles are painful, some male friends will inevitably feel at a loss, because male testicles are the key place for male sperm reproduction in the male body. If there is a problem, it will directly affect male fertility. So what is the main cause of testicular pain?

Orchitis

The male testicles are located in the scrotum, one on each side. The male testicles metabolize testosterone, which plays an important role in the growth, development and improvement of the male reproductive organs and the manifestation of male secondary sexual characteristics. Under normal circumstances, male testicles are not prone to disease and pain. If male testicles are diseased and painful, it means that the male testicles are sick and need to be treated immediately. The following orchitis is a common cause of male testicular pain. There are many causes of orchitis. For example, patients with mumps may have orchitis, which manifests as testicular pain and swelling. Gonorrhea is the most common sexually transmitted disease today, and it can cause orchitis when it is serious. Chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular pain, which manifests as unilateral pain, often dull pain or spreading pain, and is recurrent. Patients often have bruises, and it is rare in the elderly.

Male testicular changes

Changes in male testicles are one of the common scrotal diseases. They can occur in people from birth to 70 years old, and 65% occur between the ages of 12 and 19. Generally, there is strong exercise a few hours before the onset of the disease, or the male testicles are subjected to external forces. The sudden onset of severe testicular pain in men during sleep or rest is the first symptom of this disease and one of the main diagnostic criteria. Some patients are accompanied by nausea, vomiting, testicular swelling, and obvious tenderness. It is generally believed that for male testicular changes treated within 6 hours, the male testicular rescue rate reaches 80%, while for those treated after 24 hours, the rescue rate is only 20%. At this time, even if the male testicle can be preserved, the function of the affected side male testicle is usually damaged.

Male testicular damage

The male testicles have a large autonomous movement in the scrotum and are protected by a strong white membrane, so the chance of traumatic damage is low. Male testicular damage is mostly related to violence, car accidents, etc. After injury, male testicles experience severe pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and even fainting or shock. Routine physical examinations show enlarged testicles, unclear contours, or scrotal hemorrhage, and obvious tenderness. B-ultrasound and CT are not only helpful for the diagnosis of the disease, but also can clarify the location and limitation of male testicular damage. The treatment rules for male testicular damage are first rationalization, analgesia, and anti-shock, followed by identification of the degree of male testicular damage, and then appropriate treatment methods.

Male testicular ischemic pain

Testicular ischemia pain is common in the elderly. The pain is more severe, aggravated by exercise, and relieved by rest. Semen microscopy is normal. It is often caused by testicular artery atherosclerosis leading to aortic deviation. Testicular aortic atherosclerosis is usually a part of systemic vascular disease, and is more common on one side, more common on the left than on the right.
