What causes testicular pain and swelling?

Men should pay more attention to the health of their reproductive organs. Many men will experience testicular pain and swelling. If you experience testicular pain and swelling, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Don't be shy or afraid of spending money. The body is the capital of the revolution, and the longer you delay, the more serious the disease will be. There are many reasons for male testicular pain and swelling. So let's follow the editor to understand the reasons for testicular pain and swelling.

Testicular pain and swelling may be caused by one of the following problems:

1. Epididymitis

The posterior edge of the testicle is the epididymis.

Sperm is temporarily stored here after production. Epididymitis is common in people around 30 years old. It is mostly due to the unhealed urinary tract being infected by bacteria, causing the bacteria to enter the epididymis through the lumen of the vas deferens. It often occurs with posterior urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc. The site can be unilateral or bilateral, and the onset time can be acute or slow.

The entire scrotum is red, swollen, hot and painful, sensitive to touch, and burning when urinating. The scrotum is painful when it is still, but the symptoms are relieved when lying on your back.

2. Orchitis

It is usually caused by direct spread of epididymitis to the testicles, which is caused by bacteria. Acute orchitis in children is usually caused by the mumps virus, which is similar to epididymitis, but the redness and heat of the testicles are not as obvious and strong. You can clearly see that one or both testicles are enlarged and painful when pressed, and the scrotal skin is also obviously red and swollen, and it feels hot to the touch.

3. Varicose vein

Varicose veins occur in 10% of men aged 30 to 40. 90% of cases occur on the left side, due to blood congestion in the spermatic vein, which causes the venous plexus to dilate, become tortuous, and become longer. Varicose veins can also be caused by kidney tumors. Varicose veins are worth paying attention to because they may be accompanied by testicular atrophy and sperm production disorders, leading to infertility.

Most men have masturbated. But it should be noted that men should not masturbate too much. The masturbation time should not be too long. When masturbating, you should not masturbate too vigorously. If you have sexual excitement, you must not control yourself too much. Otherwise, you will get sick easily over time. If there is a problem with your body, you should seek treatment immediately.
