What is the reason for the dull pain in the testicles?

Men's testicles are generally called balls. Don't underestimate the function of testicles. In most cases, men's sexual ability is closely related to the health of testicles. And from the perspective of reproduction, testicles are also the place where sperm is produced and stored, which is even more important. In daily life, men must take good care of their testicles. So, what is the reason for the dull pain in the testicles?

Generally speaking, orchitis is the most common cause of pain. There are many other causes of pain in this disease. For example, patients with mumps may suffer from orchitis, which can cause testicular discomfort and swelling. Gonorrhea is the most common sexually transmitted disease. In severe cases, it can cause orchitis, pain and swelling. Chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular discomfort, 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.

Some people can experience testicular pain even when they are slightly uncomfortable or have no discomfort at all. This is completely due to psychological factors. Some people associate pain with masturbation and carry a heavy burden of guilt all day long. However, they do not know that excessive anxiety and excessive focus on sexual performance can lead to sexual dysfunction such as psychological impotence.

1. Acute testicular pain

Orchitis and testicular injury are common factors causing acute testicular pain. In orchitis, the testicles are enlarged and painful, and the patient has a high body temperature, fear of cold, vomiting, headache and lower abdominal pain. Testicular injury is generally caused by trauma. Vigorous exercise or sexual intercourse and violence can sometimes cause strong contraction of the levator testis muscle, causing the testicle to twist and cause severe pain. The clinical symptoms of acute testicular pain are more obvious and easy to diagnose.

2. Chronic testicular pain

Chronic testicular pain may be caused by inflammation. The pain is mild, radiating, and lasts for a long time. It is not easy to determine the exact location of the inflammation. Testicular pain is not necessarily proportional to the severity of the inflammation, but is related to the individual's nerve sensitivity. Chronic testicular pain may also be caused by varicocele or pain radiating from other parts of the testicle. At this time, corresponding examinations should be carried out to carefully identify the real cause in order to treat the symptoms.
