What department should I go to if I have testicular discomfort?

If a man feels discomfort in his testicles, he can go to the hospital's andrology department or internal medicine department for testing and diagnosis. There are many reasons that can cause testicular discomfort, such as testicular injury due to collision, or testicular inflammation due to bacterial infection. In addition, male testicles are relatively delicate and especially sensitive to temperature changes. The increase in temperature due to airtight underwear can also cause testicular discomfort.

Testicular discomfort may be testicular pain. Testicular pain can be caused by many reasons, such as infection, trauma, and tumors. It is also one of the common diseases in men's outpatient clinics. The nature of the pain varies, such as bloating, falling pain, and knife-like pain; the degree of pain also varies, such as dull pain and severe pain. In addition to the pain caused by the testicular lesions themselves, the epididymis, spermatic cord lesions and inflammation in the scrotum often cause testicular pain.

Testicular discomfort may also be caused by lesions in the bladder, prostate and other parts, which can also radiate to the scrotum and testicles, causing pain. Therefore, to determine the cause of testicular pain, doctors need to have rich clinical experience, carefully identify, and find the key to the disease. The symptoms of testicular pain caused by different reasons are also different. Patients with infection have more severe testicular pain. It may even be like a knife cut, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as severe chills. At this time, the scrotum is red and swollen, and the pain is more obvious when the testicles are touched. Testicular pain caused by prostatitis is often accompanied by a feeling of discomfort and swelling in the perineum, as well as frequent urination, urgency, pain, and difficulty urinating. Testicular pain caused by testicular tumors and epididymal tumors often presents as bloating or pain, and is often associated with ectopic testicles and incomplete testicular descent.

In fact, the causes of testicular discomfort are nothing more than these: orchitis, testicular tuberculosis, acute and chronic prostatitis, testicular cancer, epididymal cancer, testicular trauma, varicocele, etc. Therefore, if you feel testicular discomfort and go to the hospital for examination, the focus should be on these diseases. It should also be noted that if you feel testicular discomfort, you can stop having sex for a period of time to avoid worsening of testicular disease.
