Why do I often have painful and swollen testicles?

Testicular pain is a very painful thing for men. It is uncomfortable to go to the toilet or walk normally, which seriously affects their work and life. However, usually, even if the pain is unbearable, many patients will not pay too much attention to it and always wait for the symptoms to disappear on their own. In fact, there are many reasons for this symptom. The following editor will tell you in detail.

1. Acute non-specific orchitis: It often occurs in patients with urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, prostatectomy and long-term indwelling catheters. The infection spreads to the epididymis through the lymph or vas deferens, causing epididymal orchitis. In severe cases, testicular abscess and testicular infarction may occur.

2. Chronic orchitis: It is mostly caused by incomplete treatment of non-specific acute orchitis. It can also be caused by fungal, spirochetal, or parasitic infections. Pathologically, the testicles are enlarged or hardened and atrophied, the basement membrane of the seminiferous tubules is hyalinized and degenerative, and the spermatogenic epithelial cells disappear.

3. Epididymitis: Epididymitis is one of the most common diseases in men's medicine. There are many reasons for epididymitis. When the body's resistance is low, pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, etc. will take the opportunity to retrograde through the fallopian tube and invade the epididymis, causing inflammation. Therefore, this disease often leads to posterior urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis.

4. Varicose veins: Testicular bloating and pain may also be related to varicocele, which is a common disease in young men. It refers to the expansion, tortuosity and elongation of the spermatic cord caused by blood congestion in the spermatic vein. The incidence rate in the male population is 10-15%. This disease often occurs on the left side, but it is not uncommon for patients to have bilateral disease.

These are all diseases that may cause testicular pain. After reading this, I believe everyone has more or less understood the severity of the symptoms, so you must be vigilant and not ignore them when they occur. In addition, the editor strongly recommends that all male friends keep their underwear clean and pay attention to hygiene.
