What is the cause of right testicle pain?

Many patients experience discomfort in private parts of the body, but because of various embarrassing factors or because they don’t know much about it, they don’t actively seek treatment. For example, some patients often experience pain in the right testicle, but they don’t understand what’s going on. So, in general, what’s going on when such private pain occurs?

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.

Therefore, there are many causes of such symptoms, and it is difficult for patients to figure out which cause it. It would be better to actively consult a professional doctor for advice and then decide what treatment method to choose. Of course, patients should also enrich their knowledge in this area in a timely manner to avoid delaying treatment due to failure to discover similar symptoms in time.
