Why do my testicles hurt?

Testicular pain should never be ignored, because for men, the testicles are where sperm is produced. If there is a problem with the testicles, it will affect reproduction and fertility. Common causes of testicular pain are orchitis, epididymitis or scrotitis.

1. Orchitis. Orchitis is the most common cause of testicular pain in men. Orchitis is caused by inflammation of the testicles. In most cases, it is caused by the deterioration of testicular disease. The testicles feel painful due to the stimulation of inflammation. Moreover, the presence of orchitis will seriously damage the male testicular function and reduce the ability of the testicles to produce sperm. If not treated in time, it will cause male infertility.

2. Epididymitis. Testicular pain is caused by epididymitis. The male epididymis is adjacent to the testicles. Inflammation caused by infection of the epididymis will also spread to the testicles. Like orchitis, it will irritate the testicles and cause testicular pain in men. Epididymitis can also damage the testicles and cause male infertility.

3. Scrotitis. Scrotal inflammation is also a cause of testicular pain in men. The scrotum is responsible for the growth and development of sperm, and also for the temporary storage of sperm. Scrotal inflammation not only stimulates male testicles, but also damages sperm in the seminal vesicle, causing sperm death, thereby reducing male fertility and leading to male infertility.

4. Other inflammatory diseases. The causes of male testicular pain include other inflammatory diseases, such as prostatitis, male endocrine disorders, urinary tract infections, etc. The presence of these diseases can cause male testicular pain.
