1. Testicular torsion

Testicular torsion is one of the most common diseases in the scrotum. It can occur in newborns to 70-year-olds, with 65% occurring between 12 and 19 years old. It usually occurs when there is strong activity a few hours before the onset of the disease, or when the male testicles are subjected to external force.

Severe testicular pain occurs suddenly during sleep or quiet time. It is the first symptom of the disease and one of the key diagnostic criteria. Some patients also have nausea, dry mouth, testicular swelling, and obvious dull pain.

It is generally believed that for those who have testicular torsion treated within 6 hours, the testicular survival rate is 80%, and for those who have it treated after 24 hours, the survival rate is only 20%. At this time, even if the testicle can be preserved, the function of the affected testicle is usually damaged.

2. Testicular damage

The treatment standard for testicular injury is first sedation, analgesia, and anti-shock, followed by identification of the degree of testicular damage, and then adopting different treatment measures.

3. Male testicular ischemic pain

Male testicular ischemic pain is common in the elderly. The pain is severe, aggravated by activity, and relieved by rest. Semen microscopy is normal. It is often caused by sclerosis of the male testicular artery, resulting in aortic stenosis. Atherosclerosis of the male testicular aorta is usually a partial manifestation of systemic vascular disease, and is more common on one side, more common on the left than on the right.

However, there are actually many reasons for testicular pain on one side. It may be due to injury on this side, which causes pain. It may also be due to testicular torsion, which is a very serious matter. If it is not properly handled, it is likely to cause damage to the testicle on this side, and ultimately lead to ischemic pain, which is a very common disease in the elderly.
