What causes a dull pain in the testicles during sleep at night?

At the beginning of going to sleep at night, I didn't feel any testicular pain, but in the middle of the night, I suddenly felt a dull ache in my testicle. So I'd like to know—what could cause a mild testicular pain during sleep at night?

During sleep at night, a dull pain in the testicles may occur due to conditions such as orchitis, prostatitis, or meningeal retention, or it may suddenly result from severe external trauma causing intense pain. In such cases, one should first relax the body to allow the testicles to fully relax, then apply a warm compress using a hot towel. If symptoms are severe, seek medical treatment at a hospital for swelling reduction. Patients need timely examination and treatment to prevent progression into more serious conditions, and should also pay attention to protecting the testicles.
