What causes left testicle pain?

Men generally like competitive sports, but some sports are very easy to cause physical injuries, especially to the genitals, such as testicles, which are organs that men need to protect themselves. In addition to genital injuries caused by sports, there are also some internal diseases that can cause testicular pain. For example, what is the cause of left testicular pain? Let's take a look at the introduction below.

Orchitis

Orchitis is a common cause of testicular pain. There are many causes of orchitis, such as patients with mumps may suffer from orchitis, testicular pain and swelling; gonorrhea; gonorrhea is the most common sexually transmitted disease, and in severe cases it can cause orchitis, testicular pain and swelling; chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular pain, which manifests as unilateral pain, mostly dull pain or pulling pain, which is persistent. Microscopic examination of prostatic fluid can reveal a large number of white blood cells. Most patients are young and strong, and it is rare in the elderly.

Testicular torsion

Testicular torsion is one of the common acute diseases in the scrotum. It can occur in newborns to 70-year-olds, and 65% occur between 12 and 19 years old. Generally, there is vigorous activity a few hours before the onset of the disease, or the testicles have 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. For patients who suspect or cannot rule out testicular torsion, surgical exploration and reduction and fixation should be performed as soon as possible to save the testicles and protect spermatogenesis. It is generally believed that the testicular rescue rate can reach 80% for those who undergo testicular torsion within 6 hours, but only 20% for those who undergo treatment after 24 hours. Even if the testicle can be preserved, the function of the affected testicle is often damaged.

Orchitis, testicular torsion, etc. are all causes of testicular pain, especially left-side testicular pain or right-side testicular pain. Male friends must go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible when they encounter testicular pain. At the same time, they must strengthen the protection of the body, especially the genital area, and try not to wear too thick pants to avoid squeezing the testicles.
