What causes testicular pain in boys?

One symptom that boys in puberty should pay attention to is testicular pain. Testicular pain is simply testicular soreness, which is a very common male reproductive infection symptom, which has a great impact on the health of male friends. In more serious cases, it may even cause male infertility. Therefore, once male friends experience testicular soreness, they must find out the cause and seek medical treatment in time. So what is the reason for male testicular pain? Let's take a look.

What causes testicular pain in boys?

Testicular soreness is commonly seen in clinical medicine as nonspecific orchitis and mumps orchitis. It is one of the common causes of male infertility. The details are as follows:

1. Chronic non-specific orchitis: Chronic orchitis is often caused by incomplete treatment of non-specific acute orchitis. It can also be caused by fungal, spirochete, or sparganosis infection. For example, male testicular syphilis and previous testicular trauma can cause granulomatous orchitis. Partial or whole-body exposure to radioactive substances such as radioactive nuclide phosphorus can also cause orchitis and damage male testicular tissue.

2. Subacute non-specific orchitis: Subacute non-specific orchitis often occurs in patients with urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, prostate enlargement, and long-term indwelling catheters. The infection spreads to the epididymal cyst through the lymph nodes or ejaculatory ducts, causing epididymal cystic testitis. Common pathogens are Streptococcus, Proteus, Staphylococcus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The bacteria can spread to the male testicles during menstruation, causing simple orchitis. However, the male testicles have rich blood circulation and are highly resistant to infection, so this condition is relatively rare.

3. Acute mumps orchitis: Influenza mumps is the most common cause of orchitis. About 20% of mumps patients have orchitis. It is common in the middle and late stages of puberty. The human eye can see that the male testicles are swollen and blue-purple in height and width.

In short, testicular pain is a symptom that cannot be ignored. We should also have a clear understanding of the key causes of testicular pain in men from the detailed introduction above, and we must also deeply understand that we should not ignore this kind of symptom. Once the testicles hurt, we should immediately go to a professional hospital clinic to see a doctor for treatment, otherwise it may cause irreparable adverse effects due to our own negligence.
