What happens when the testicles become larger? Does it affect your health?

The testicle is an important male organ and the main component of the scrotum. It is one of the unique reproductive characteristics of men. Patients with enlarged testicles need to pay special attention, because the enlargement of the scrotum and testicles will cause patients to suffer from many male diseases, including testicular effusion, etc. These symptoms will have a significant impact on men's life and work, causing men to lose confidence in life.

The enlargement of male scrotum is due to hydrocele. So what is hydrocele? Hydrocele is a disease caused by excessive and unabsorbed plasma in the testicular sac caused by tissue lesions. It is very harmful to male health and fertility, and can also cause psychological diseases in men due to the impact on sexual life. In addition to draining the fluid, its treatment should also find out the cause of hydrocele and treat the primary disease accordingly to achieve the effect of fundamental cure.

So what are the causes of hydrocele in men? Surgeons point out that the main causes of hydrocele are as follows:

(1) Infection is also the most common cause of hydrocele. Invasion of tuberculosis, gonorrhea and various non-specific bacteria can cause acute and chronic epididymitis, orchitis, spermatic cord inflammation, and hydrocele. Parasitic infections such as filariasis, which are prevalent in tropical regions, can also damage the lymphatic drainage of the tunica vaginalis, spermatic cord and scrotum, leading to hydrocele.

(2) A significant number of patients with injuries have a history of scrotal trauma, so this is another common cause. In addition, many surgical procedures in the abdomen, groin area, and scrotum may also stimulate the spermatic cord and damage lymphatic vessels, causing fluid accumulation.

The reasons for testicular enlargement also include excessive sexual activity and external viral stimulation and infection. Patients with enlarged testicles should go to the andrology clinic for a physical examination in time to avoid sexual dysfunction. Inflammatory stimulation can also lead to pus formation and irregular discharge of effusions, which will bring hidden dangers to the patient's physical health and affect the normal reproductive function of men.
