What causes enlarged testicles?

Male sexual organs play a key role in determining their sexual ability. For example, male testicles, as an important male sexual organ, will naturally lead to male sexual dysfunction if there are certain problems. Testicular enlargement is a common symptom. If this problem occurs, you must go to the hospital in time to find out the cause and then receive corresponding treatment. The following is a comprehensive analysis of the causes of testicular enlargement for everyone!

The testicles themselves will not become diseased, but if nearby organs become diseased, they will spread to the testicles, causing testicular disease. Therefore, experts remind male friends that it is best to take the initiative to go to a regular hospital for a health check regularly so that it can be discovered early and treated early.

1. Acute non-specific orchitis:

This situation often occurs in urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis and after prostatectomy. The inflammatory infection will spread through the lymph nodes or vas deferens and then gradually spread to the epididymis, thereby causing epididymal testitis. In severe cases, testicular abscess will form.

2. Chronic orchitis:

Chronic orchitis is mostly caused by incomplete treatment of non-specific acute orchitis. It can also be caused by fungal, spirochete, or parasitic infection. For example, testicular syphilis and previous testicular trauma may cause granulomatous orchitis. Local or whole-body radioactive isotope phosphorus irradiation of the testicles can also cause orchitis and destroy the testicular tissue.

3. Epididymitis :

Epididymitis is a common disease in young people. When the body's resistance is low, pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus will enter the vas deferens and retrogradely invade the epididymis, causing inflammation. Therefore, this disease often leads to posterior urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis. Generally, patients with epididymitis will have nodules, which mostly occur in the head or tail of the epididymis, and most of them occur in the tail.

Epididymitis is the most common disease in men. There are many reasons for epididymitis. If a man's resistance is low, many pathogenic bacteria will take the opportunity to retrograde from the fallopian tube and gradually invade the male epididymis, thereby causing epididymitis and testicular enlargement.
