Why are my testicles getting bigger and still hurting?

The testicles will begin to grow larger with the development of puberty, but they will not start to grow larger for no reason. If the testicles grow larger and are painful, it means that there is a problem inside the testicle. This does not rule out the possibility that it may be caused by a tumor or an inflammatory disease. You need to go to the hospital for a check-up first. It is best to do a B-ultrasound test to see what is happening inside the testicle.

What causes male testicular enlargement?

Testicular tumor

It is important to point out that testicular tumors are almost always malignant. When the size of one testicle increases, the weight of the testicle increases, and the shape of the testicle changes, you should consider the possibility of a tumor. Once diagnosed, the enlarged testicle should be removed immediately.

Orchitis

You must not take acute orchitis lightly. In addition to local testicular redness, swelling, heat and pain, it is also accompanied by fever, which is often a complication of mumps. The greatest harm of this disease is that it destroys the spermatogenic epithelium function of the testicles and is the main cause of azoospermia. It must be taken seriously and treated in time.

Scrotal enlargement

We know that scrotal swelling is mostly caused by scrotal skin diseases. Skin edema, inflammation, trauma, congestion and scrotal skin lesions can all cause scrotal swelling. These skin symptoms are very obvious and easy to diagnose and treat.

Hydrocele

Common in children, one side of the testicle is enlarged, and the size difference between the two sides of the testicle is obvious. Early hydrocele is not a big problem, and sometimes it can be absorbed and recovered by itself. However, if the fluid accumulates more, it will affect the blood circulation of the testicle, and if not handled properly, it may cause testicular atrophy and infertility. At this time, it is necessary to consider whether surgical treatment is needed.

Varicose vein

This is the most common reproductive system disease in men. It is often characterized by pain on one side of the testicle, usually a pulling pain, and most varicocele occurs on the left side. The varicocele is dilated and tortuous, which means that there is something wrong with the vein. In addition, varicocele is one of the causes of male infertility, and it is often one of the factors that cause low sperm motility.

Epididymitis

This disease mostly occurs in young men. When it occurs, the local scrotal skin becomes red and swollen, with obvious tenderness, and some people even have a fever. Chronic patients have slight pain and a feeling of falling in the affected area. When touched, a hard lump is found below the testicle in the scrotum, forming the so-called testicular nodule.

Testicular torsion

As the name suggests, the angle of the testicle changes under the action of external forces, and the testicle twists, which is a big problem. When the disease occurs, the testicle suddenly becomes extremely painful, often accompanied by prolapse. It can cause redness and swelling of the scrotum, and accumulation of fluid and blood in the vagina. It is necessary to go to the urology department for treatment in time.
