Why does my balls hurt?

As a normal man, if you feel pain in your testicles, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. There are many reasons for pain in the male genitals. The most common disease is inflammation. This inflammation occurs in the testicles. Mild cases will cause pain, and severe cases will induce the occurrence of other diseases. A healthy body is the premise of all work and life.

1. Inflammation

Orchitis is a common cause of testicular pain. There are many causes of orchitis. For example, patients with mumps may suffer from orchitis, testicular pain and swelling. Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease with a high incidence rate. In severe cases, it can cause orchitis, testicular pain and swelling. Chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular pain, 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.

2. Twist

Testicular torsion is one of the common acute diseases in the scrotum. It can occur in newborns to 70-year-olds, with 65% occurring between 12 and 19 years old. Generally, there is vigorous activity a few hours before the onset of the disease, or the testicles have been subjected to external force. Sudden severe testicular pain during sleep or rest is the first symptom of this disease and is also one of the main diagnostic bases. Some cases are accompanied by nausea and vomiting, scrotal swelling, and obvious tenderness.

3. 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 are severely painful with nausea, vomiting, and even fainting or shock. During physical examination, there are swollen testicles, unclear contours, or scrotal congestion, and obvious tenderness. B-ultrasound and CT are not only helpful for the diagnosis of this disease, but also can clarify the location and range of testicular injury.

4. Ischemia

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, often due to sclerosis of the testicular artery leading 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.
