What is the cause of the pain in the left testicle?

Men's life is very important because men have different genitals, and most of their genitals are exposed, so they are easily injured. Some men will have genital diseases, some of which are physiological diseases caused by external stimulation, and some are infectious diseases. However, pain in the left testicle is a problem encountered by men. The cause of the pain cannot be found. So, what is the cause of the left testicle pain?

Causes of pain

Many men suffer from testicular problems. Due to their lack of knowledge, many men will blindly choose treatment methods, which makes the undiagnosed condition more serious. 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.

The problem of left testicle pain is very annoying and distressing for men, because left testicle pain will make men feel very uncomfortable and temporarily lose their ability to move. Therefore, men should pay attention to protecting their genitals in life and avoid external injuries to their genitals.
