What causes hard testicles?

Perhaps many men do not pay much attention to their reproductive health issues, but it is important to understand that men are easily affected by reproductive diseases. Common symptoms include testicular pain, especially epididymitis or orchitis.

1. Acute pain is common in orchitis and injury. In addition to bloodstream infection, orchitis is more common when bacteria retrograde through the urethra to the epididymis and testicles, causing epididymitis and orchitis. Clinically, epididymis and testicle swelling and pain can be seen. Testicular injury has a history of trauma and local swelling and congestion. Vigorous exercise or sexual intercourse and violence can sometimes cause strong contraction of the levator testis, causing the testicle with an overly long frenulum to twist and cause severe testicular pain. Since the testicular twisting blocks the blood supply to the testicle, in addition to severe testicular pain, there is also scrotal swelling and skin edema. Acute pain is relatively easy to diagnose.

2. Chronic pain, mild cases last for a long time. The pain is mild, generalized, and has radiating pain, so it is not easy to judge the exact location of the inflammation. Testicular pain is not necessarily proportional to the severity of inflammation. Some people are very sensitive to nerves, and mild inflammation can cause severe pain; while some people are more delayed and feel that it is mild. Some pain occurs after sexual intercourse, which may be due to sexual excitement causing high congestion of the genitals and gonads. Some pain is caused by varicocele or pain radiating from other parts of the body, such as radiating testicular pain caused by ureteral stones. At this time, it is necessary to carefully identify the real cause in order to effectively treat the symptoms.

3. 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.
