What exactly is going on when men have testicular pain?

We all know that gender differences exist because of the differences in male and female reproductive organs. In addition to the genitals, the male reproductive organs also have two testicles. In life, we often hear people say "pain in the balls", which mainly refers to testicular pain. If a man has testicular pain, it is likely a symptom of a physical problem. Under normal circumstances, the testicles will not feel painful. Only by understanding the cause of the pain can we treat the symptoms. Let's take a look at the possible causes of testicular pain.

Reason 1: Intense sexual intercourse: First of all, we need to consider whether the sexual intercourse is too intense or violent, which leads to strong contraction of the levator testis muscle and causes testicular pain.

Reason 2: Testicular injury: Testicular injury and local swelling and congestion can also cause testicular pain after sexual intercourse.

Reason 3: Testicular torsion: Testicular torsion is one of the common acute symptoms in the scrotum. Generally, there is vigorous activity a few hours before the onset of the disease, or the testicles have been subjected to external force. Testicular pain occurs suddenly when sleeping or quiet.

Reason 4: Orchitis: Orchitis is the main cause of testicular pain in men. Generally speaking, 50% of patients with testicular pain are caused by orchitis.

There are many reasons for testicular pain, among which orchitis is the most common. Orchitis is a common inflammation of the male reproductive system. It is an inflammatory lesion of the testicle caused by a variety of pathogenic factors. It can invade the testicles through the urethra, seminal vesicle, vas deferens, and epididymis. It is one of the common causes of male infertility.

In the absence of trauma, if a male friend experiences testicular pain, he should first consider whether he has acute non-specific orchitis, which often occurs in patients with urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, prostate hyperplasia resection, and long-term indwelling catheters. Testicular pain may also be caused by chronic orchitis, or by fungal, spirochetal, or parasitic infections, such as testicular syphilis. Those who have had testicular trauma before may also develop granulomatous orchitis.

Testicular torsion is also one of the main causes of testicular pain, which often causes severe pain in one side of the testicle and scrotum, and the pain also spreads to the lower abdomen and perineum.

The above article introduces the possible causes of testicular pain. In addition to the pain caused by trauma, friction, and squeezing, the other reasons are pathological. In daily care, we should pay attention to the hygiene of the testicles. When cleaning, we should pay attention to cleanliness and keep dry. In addition, we should try to wear loose and breathable underwear to reduce friction. Do not ride a bicycle or drive for too long.
