Testicular pain following nocturnal emission may be caused by vigorous movements during sexual activity, leading to muscle cramps and subsequent pain. This discomfort usually resolves spontaneously with adequate rest after sexual activity. It could also be due to prostatitis or cystitis. A color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system and prostate is recommended, which can help establish a clear diagnosis. Recovery typically occurs within two to four weeks.
