What to do if a man's balls hurt

Testicles are an important male sexual characteristic and a direct reflection of male sexual ability and fertility. If there are certain problems with the testicles, such as frequent pain, then during sexual intercourse, there will naturally be a variety of problems such as difficulty in testicular erection, which will affect the quality of life between couples. Therefore, once symptoms of testicular pain occur, it is necessary to actively seek treatment. The specific treatment methods are as follows:

1. Symptomatic treatment

The treatment of testicular pain should be based on the determination of its cause. If the cause cannot be found for the time being, sedative and analgesic treatment can be used. If necessary, spermatic cord procaine blockade can be used to block the vicious cycle between the pain source of neuralgia and the brain's pain center. Some people can induce testicular pain even with a little discomfort or no discomfort at all. At this time, it is completely psychological. Some people associate pain with masturbation and carry a heavy burden of guilt all day long. Little do they know that excessive anxiety and excessive focus on sexual performance can cause sexual dysfunction such as psychological impotence.
