    Many men have had the experience of testicular pain, and the so-called testicular pain is what everyone often calls "testicular pain". Testicles are the main reproductive organ for men to produce sperm and have a very important impact on pregnancy. If testicles hurt, you should stay vigilant and go to the hospital for medical treatment immediately.

    What causes testicular pain? “What are the causes of "testicular pain"?

    1. Orchitis

    Orchitis is one of the common causes of male infertility, usually caused by viral and bacterial infections. Because the male testicles have a rich supply of blood and tissue fluid, they have a strong ability to resist bacteria. Orchitis often occurs, mostly caused by inflammation of the epididymal cyst near the male testicle, so it is also called "epididymal cyst-orchitis". In addition, some viral infections (such as influenza and mumps viruses) can directly and seriously damage male testicles, causing viral orchitis.

    2. Testicular torsion

    Testicular torsion occurs quickly and violently. It usually occurs several hours after a man has exercised excessively. When the disease occurs, one side of the male testicle and vagina will experience severe pain, and the pain may spread to the lower abdomen and perineum. Some patients may even experience symptoms such as vomiting and nausea.

    3. Testicular damage

    If the male testicles are affected by factors such as collisions, explosions, car accidents, etc., they may experience pain. In severe cases, they may even experience nausea, retching, fainting, and shock.

    4. Seminal varicose veins

    Varicose veins are a common disease among young people and are also a key cause of male infertility. When blood accumulates in the spermatic vein, it is very easy to cause the spermatic plexus blood vessels to enlarge, coil, and elongate.

    5. Male testicular cerebral ischemia pain

    Men's testicular ischemia pain mostly occurs in the elderly. The pain is severe when the disease occurs. If you go out for activities, the pain will be aggravated. Therefore, it is recommended to rest more after the disease occurs to alleviate the condition.

    Male testicles are an important place for men to "make sperm" and are related to future pregnancy and family problems. Although testicular pain in men is not a disease, it is indeed a symptom of the disease. When men encounter testicular pain, they must not be complacent and ignore medical treatment, nor should they blindly follow the trend of treatment. Instead, they should go to the hospital for medical treatment as soon as possible to avoid inevitable serious harm!
