A lump on one testicle

A lump on one side of the testicle may be caused by orchitis or epididymitis, so it is recommended that male friends check the cause of the testicular lump. Orchitis can cause patients to experience urinary pain and blood in the stool, etc., and patients need to receive timely treatment. Orchitis requires taking antibiotics for treatment, and sexual intercourse should be avoided.

What causes a lump on the side of the testicle?

1. Orchitis: Orchitis is one of the causes of testicular lumps. Orchitis is a common inflammation of the male reproductive system and one of the common causes of male infertility. Data show that testicular lumps often indicate that men suffer from orchitis. In daily life, many men know the importance of testicles. If the normal function of the testicles is damaged, the male reproductive function will be affected to varying degrees. For example, orchitis is the most common disease, which makes men suffer from pain and affects their sexual life, leaving them with a heavy psychological burden.

2. Epididymitis: There are lumps inside the testicles, which may be caused by inflammation of the epididymis. Since the epididymis is closely attached to the upper end and posterior edge of the testicle, it can be divided into three parts: head, body and tail. The head is formed by the winding of the efferent ductules, and the end of the efferent ductules is connected to an epididymal duct. The epididymal duct is about 5 meters long, and the winding forms the body and tail. The end of the tube turns sharply upward and directly continues to become the vas deferens.

How to care for male testicles

1. Testosterone levels peak in the neonatal period and drop to the lowest level before puberty.

2. During puberty, testosterone levels rise. The age at which testosterone levels rise in the blood is 12 to 17 years old, which also indicates that the male's sexual function has basically matured, with the ability to produce sperm and the awakening of sexual desire.

3. When men are between 20 and 30 years old, their testosterone levels reach their peak and show rhythmic fluctuations, that is, there are periodic changes throughout the year and rhythmic changes every day. The testosterone level of adult men is highest in autumn and lowest in spring. The daily periodic rhythmic changes are highest in the early morning and lowest in the evening.

4. After the age of 40, the testosterone level of men begins to slowly decline, which is related to the daily wear and tear of the human body and excessive stress in life. When the male hormone drops to a certain level, symptoms such as irritability, depression, fatigue, and decreased libido will appear, which means that the male menopause has begun. The testicles are an important and often neglected organ in the male reproductive system, so men should pay attention to testicular care.
