What causes enlarged testicles?

Men's testicles are considered to be the most important organs. Why do we say that? First of all, men's testicles are a major sexual organ, which is an important guarantee for marriage life. If there is a problem with the testicles, there may be problems with the marriage life. Secondly, men's testicles are also a major reproductive organ, because there are sperm inside the testicles. It is the perfect combination of sperm and egg that breeds a healthy baby. So, what is the reason for the enlargement of testicles?

The enlargement of male scrotum is due to hydrocele. So what is hydrocele? Hydrocele is a disease caused by tissue lesions, which is caused by excessive plasma in the testicular sac that cannot be absorbed. It has serious harm to male health and fertility, and can also cause male psychological diseases due to the impact on sexual life. In addition to draining the fluid, its treatment should also find out the cause of hydrocele and treat the primary disease accordingly to achieve the effect of fundamental cure.

So what are the causes of hydrocele in men? Surgeons point out that there are four main causes of hydrocele:

(1) Infection is also the most common cause of hydrocele. Invasion of tuberculosis, gonorrhea and various non-specific bacteria can cause acute and chronic epididymitis, orchitis, spermatic cord inflammation, and hydrocele. Parasitic infections such as filariasis, which are prevalent in tropical regions, can also damage the lymphatic drainage of the tunica vaginalis, spermatic cord and scrotum, leading to hydrocele.

(2) A significant number of patients with injuries have a history of scrotal trauma, so this is another common cause. In addition, many surgical procedures in the abdomen, groin area, and scrotum may also stimulate the spermatic cord and damage lymphatic vessels, causing fluid accumulation.

(3) Tumor: If cancer occurs in the testicles, epididymis, tunica vaginalis, spermatic cord, etc. and invades the tunica vaginalis, it may lead to increased secretion and exudation or blockage of the lymphatic system, resulting in effusion.

(4) Systemic diseases Some systemic diseases can cause systemic tissue edema or ascites, such as heart and kidney failure, liver disease, etc., which cause water and sodium retention, circulatory stagnation, lymphatic obstruction, etc. They can also lead to the appearance of effusion. In addition, benign scrotal diseases such as testicular torsion, testicular appendage torsion, spermatic cord varicocele, etc. can also induce hydrocele.
