What is a lump on the testicle? 3 causes to pay attention to

The testicles are located under the penis. They are important male reproductive organs. The penis and testicles are important parts of male sexual function. The testicles will shrink and become smaller as sexual function declines. What is the situation when a lump appears on the male testicles? What are the hazards?

Causes

1. Testicular tuberculosis: Testicular tuberculosis is mostly caused by the spread of tuberculosis in the prostate, seminal vesicle, vas deferens, and epididymis. The main clinical manifestations of testicular tuberculosis are testicular pain, dull pain and a feeling of falling. It is difficult to diagnose in the early stage. A small number of acute cases are often accompanied by epididymal tuberculosis. The testicles are enlarged and have lumps, which are slightly hard and smooth in texture. Sometimes they are accompanied by thickening of the vas deferens. If not treated in time, the consequences are serious.

2. Caused by orchitis: Orchitis is usually caused by E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and is divided into acute and chronic types. Patients with orchitis will experience testicular swelling and tenderness. If the purulent membrane is present, there will be a shaking feeling of pus accumulation. The patient will also have symptoms of high fever and chills.

3. Varicose veins: Varicose veins are manifested as a swollen or painful scrotum or testicle, scrotal swelling, dilated and tortuous veins on the surface of the scrotum, and testicular nodules. Severe varicocele can cause insufficient testicular nutrition and lead to atrophy.

Note:

There are lumps in the testicles, and many of them are accompanied by symptoms of testicular pain. Most of them are caused by inflammatory diseases of the reproductive system. The symptoms can only disappear after the primary disease is cured, and the most appropriate treatment method should be selected according to the different causes.

Testicular disease hazards

1. Cause male friends to lose their fertility: If epididymitis is not treated for a long time or cannot be cured for a long time, it will cause azoospermia or dead sperm, thereby causing infertility and making male friends lose their fertility. Not only that, the inflammation can also be transmitted to women, causing serious gynecological diseases.

2. Cause loss of male sexual function: Epididymitis can cause a decline in male sexual function. In severe cases, it can also lead to loss of sexual function, causing great trouble to the couple's sex life.
