What is the disease of men's testicles swelling?

For men, if the testicles are swollen, it is important to understand the specific cause. The most common cause is testicular torsion or injury. Some men have longer testicular mesentery, which can easily lead to testicular torsion. In addition, if a man has varicocele, this is also an important cause of testicular swelling, and its harm is also relatively large. Let's take a look at this aspect.

What is the disease of men's testicles swelling?

Testicular swelling and pain can also be caused by trauma, inflammation, tumors, etc. Testicular disease often affects the normal functioning of important reproductive organs. It can lead to male infertility, so testicular swelling and pain should be treated promptly. If treatment is delayed, it is likely to cause physical pain and mental pain.

Common causes of testicular pain

1. Testicular torsion.

Testicular torsion is one of the common acute diseases in the scrotum. Generally, there is vigorous activity a few hours before the onset of the disease, or the testicles have been subjected to external force. Severe testicular pain occurs suddenly during sleep or rest. This is the first symptom of the disease and one of the main diagnostic bases. Some patients also have nausea and vomiting, scrotal swelling, and obvious tenderness.

2. Testicular damage.

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 injuries are mostly related to violence, car accidents, etc. After injury, the testicles will be severely painful, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and even fainting or shock. During physical examination, there will be swollen testicles, unclear contours or scrotal congestion, and obvious tenderness. B-ultrasound and CT not only help in the diagnosis of this disease, but also can clarify the location and extent 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, which leads to arterial stenosis. Testicular artery atherosclerosis is often a local manifestation of systemic vascular disease, mostly unilateral lesions, more common on the left side than on the right side.

4. Orchitis.

The testicles are located in the scrotum, one on each side. The testicles secrete male hormones, which play an important role in the development and maturation of male reproductive organs and the appearance of male secondary sexual characteristics. There are many causes of orchitis. For example, patients with mumps may suffer from orchitis, which can cause testicular pain and swelling. Gonorrhea is the most common sexually transmitted disease, which can cause orchitis in severe cases. Chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular pain, which manifests as unilateral pain, mostly dull pain or pulling pain, which is persistent. Most patients are young and strong, and it is rare in the elderly.
