What should I do if I have testicular pain and lower abdominal pain?

The testicle is the most important organ of men, mainly used to store male semen. It is well known that the testicle is also the most vulnerable part of men. Many men will experience testicular pain and lower abdominal pain in their daily lives. Many men may not know what causes this. The following editor will tell you what causes testicular pain and lower abdominal pain, and what to do when you have testicular pain and lower abdominal pain.

Lower abdominal pain and stomach pain are mostly caused by orchitis. Orchitis is an inflammatory lesion of the testicle caused by various pathogenic factors, which can be divided into non-specific, viral, fungal, spirochetal, parasitic, and traumatic. The testicles themselves rarely have bacterial infections. Since the testicles have a rich supply of blood and lymph, they have a strong resistance to bacterial infections. Most bacterial orchitis is caused by inflammation of the adjacent epididymis, so it is also called epididymo-orchitis. Common pathogens are Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc. Viruses can directly invade the testicles, the most common of which is the mumps virus, which mainly invades the parotid glands of children. However, this virus can also invade the testicles, so viral orchitis often occurs shortly after the onset of mumps.

Chinese medicine treatment for orchitis

TCM generally uses the method of syndrome differentiation to treat acute orchitis. Andrology experts say that TCM syndrome differentiation generally divides acute orchitis into three types:

1. Wet and hot injection type
