What causes testicular pain?

Testicular pain should be suspected of epididymitis or orchitis. Since the probability of bacterial infection of male testicles causing inflammation is relatively low, epididymitis is more likely to be suspected. Bacteria can enter the posterior urethra through urinary tract infection, and then pass through the seminal vesicles and vas deferens to cause infection and inflammation of the accessory high. Urine reflux during urination in men can bring in bacteria, which can also cause epididymitis.

Epididymitis is a common disease in young people. Whenever the body's resistance is low, pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus will take the opportunity to enter the vas deferens and retrogradely invade the epididymis, causing inflammation. Therefore, this disease is mostly divided into acute and chronic epididymitis. Acute epididymitis is mostly caused by the spread of urinary system, prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis along the vas deferens to the epididymis. Blood infection is less common. Transurethral instrumentation, frequent catheterization, and indwelling urinary catheter after prostatectomy are all likely to cause epididymitis.

According to the course of the disease, it can be divided into acute epididymitis and chronic epididymitis. Acute epididymitis is often secondary to urethral, ​​prostate or seminal vesicle infection, while chronic epididymitis is often caused by incomplete treatment of the acute phase. Infection route: retrograde infection of the vas deferens, lymphatic spread, bloody infection, trauma, catheter or instrument damage, and drugs.

Some surgeries can also cause epididymitis, for example, prostatectomy, especially transurethral surgery, because the urine may carry bacteria for about 12 weeks after the operation. When men urinate, the urine will flow back into the ejaculatory duct, causing epididymitis. Some infections can also enter the epididymis through the surrounding lymphatic vessels. If sterile urine flows back into the ejaculatory duct, it can also cause chemical epididymitis.

Some external factors can also lead to epididymitis. For example, the unreasonable design of men's underwear can cause epididymitis. Men's underwear is basically double-layered, which wraps the penis and scrotum together. This will cause the penis and scrotum to be in a high temperature environment for a long time, which is easy to breed some bacteria and cause epididymitis.

When men suffer from epididymitis and testicular pain, they should eat less cholesterol and eat less red meat. They should not be too anxious in life, actively avoid genital infections, and prevent prostatitis and urethritis. They should eat light food and avoid excessive drinking. Exercise can increase the body's resistance to disease. They should pay attention to regular sex life and combine work and rest.
