Male lower abdominal pain and testicular swelling

The main function of the male testicle is to produce sperm and metabolize androgen. In addition, there is another very important organ in the scrotum - the epididymal cyst. The epididymal cyst is located on the periphery of the male testicle. One end of the epididymal cyst is connected to the ejaculatory duct and the other end is connected to the seminiferous tubule of the male testicle. When the male sperm leaves the male testicle, it goes to the epididymal cyst for storage and continues to grow and develop. In addition to storing male sperm, the epididymal cyst can also metabolize epididymal cyst fluid, which contains some growth hormones, enzymes and specific nutrients, which are beneficial to the perfection of male sperm.

Epididymal cysts are like the "little friends" of male testicles, and they are very close to each other. However, medical experts have found that the friendship between the "testicles" and their "little friends" can be easily broken.

Men's testicles suddenly swell and it's important to be aware of male testicular tumors

Men should also do a self-examination of their testicles once a month. It is best to do it after washing the genitals with warm water and when the skin becomes softer. Hold up the scrotum with the palm of your hand and use your fingers to knead the testicles to turn them over for examination. If symptoms appear on the right side, seek medical treatment immediately. Do not avoid medical treatment and delay the condition.

1. Testicular swelling

This type of swelling is often discovered inadvertently when taking a bath or changing clothes, or when the scrotum is slightly injured by some kind of collision and is discovered when it is partially rubbed. The vast majority of testicular swelling is not accompanied by pain, and there is no pain when pressing on the part. Sometimes there may be a dull pain, but there is always a feeling of pain in the scrotum of men.

2. Hard male testicles

It feels like stone and is a bit hard, which is obviously different from the symmetrical swelling and soft texture of the testicles in men with general testicular inflammation.

3. Male testicular pressure

Because male testicular tumors are formed by the growth and development of a large number of tumor cells, they are actually hard masses. After growing to a certain extent, the weight of the male testicles increases dramatically, and the patient will have a heavy feeling of falling down, which even affects walking. If you hold up the male testicles with force, it is like holding up a stone, and there is a certain sense of heaviness.

4. Subacute testicular pain

One day, the male testicle on the affected side suddenly experiences severe pain, as if the testicle has twisted and become diseased. It turns out that the male testicular tumor tissue suddenly produces bleeding, blockage and ischemic necrosis.

5. Acute abdominal pain

A high-positioned testicular tumor in a man may reflexively cause lower abdominal pain due to the tendency of the nerves to sag downward. Especially for a hidden testis located in the abdomen, if it deteriorates and is accompanied by testicular torsion, the acute abdominal pain is very severe.

6. Male breast growth and development syndrome

Unexplained breast enlargement may also be due to testicular tumors. For example, tumors such as embryonic carcinoma, chorionic epithelial carcinoma, teratoma, etc., will produce a lot of gonadotropin. The increase of this growth hormone in the body can stimulate breast enlargement.

7. Infertility

Suffering from testicular tumors in men can damage the sperm-producing tissue in the testicles and cause infertility.
