Swelling and pain in the male testicles are generally caused by conditions such as varicocele or testicular tumors. In patients with varicocele, impaired local blood flow leads to blood accumulation in the testicular area, causing ischemia and resulting in swelling and pain. Local lesions such as testicular tuberculosis or testicular tumors can also cause testicular pain. Patients should go to the hospital to complete relevant examinations, including urological ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound of the scrotum.
