Why is my right testicle hurting?

Testicular problems are a painful problem for many men. This is because many people do not have a special understanding of diseases in this area, so many male patients choose some blind methods to treat them, which leads to some unnecessary consequences and even worsens the condition. So what is going on if the patient has a little pain in the right testicle?

There are many causes of testicular pain, but the main ones are testicular torsion, testicular injury, orchitis, and testicular ischemic pain:

1. 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 testicle has been subjected to external force. Severe testicular pain occurs suddenly during sleep or quiet time. This is the first symptom of this disease and one of its main diagnostic bases. Some patients are accompanied by nausea and vomiting, scrotal swelling, and obvious tenderness.

2. Testicular injury. The testicles are more mobile in the scrotum and are protected by a tough white membrane, so the chance of closure injury is relatively small. Testicular injury is mostly related to violence, car accidents, etc. After injury, the testicles will be severely painful with nausea, vomiting, and even fainting or shock. During physical examination, there will be testicular swelling, unclear contours or scrotal congestion, and obvious tenderness. B-ultrasound and CT are not only helpful for the diagnosis of this disease, but also can clarify the location and range of testicular injury.

3. Testicular ischemic pain. Testicular ischemic pain is more common in the elderly. The pain is more severe, aggravated by activity, and relieved by rest. Prostatic fluid microscopy is normal. It is often caused by sclerosis of the testicular artery leading to arterial stenosis. Testicular artery atherosclerosis is often a local manifestation of systemic vascular lesions, mostly unilateral lesions, more common on the left side than on the right side.

4. Orchitis. The testicles are located in the scrotum, one on each side. The testicles secrete male hormones, which play an important role in the development and maturation of male reproductive organs and the appearance of male secondary sexual characteristics. There are many causes of orchitis. For example, patients with mumps may suffer from orchitis, which can cause testicular pain and swelling. Gonorrhea is the most common sexually transmitted disease, which can cause orchitis in severe cases. Chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular pain, which manifests as unilateral pain, mostly dull pain or pulling pain, which is persistent. Most patients are young and strong, and it is rare in the elderly.

Some people can experience testicular pain even when they are slightly uncomfortable or have no discomfort at all. This is completely due to psychological factors. Some people associate pain with masturbation and carry a heavy burden of guilt all day long. However, they do not know that excessive anxiety and excessive focus on sexual performance can lead to sexual dysfunction such as psychological impotence.

Therefore, when any discomfort may occur on the testicles, the patient must be cautious and must be treated in a timely manner. However, be careful not to blindly use some folk remedies or some drugs, which will aggravate the condition. It is necessary to receive professional treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor to achieve better results and stay away from the torture of the disease.
