Dr. Li Mingchuan
Pain in the testicles and lower abdomen is generally caused by conditions such as testicular torsion. Testicular torsion leads to acute pain in the testicle, which gradually radiates to the lower abdomen and may also cause back pain. Acute testicular pain is often due to orchitis or trauma. In cases of orchitis, bacteria travel retrograde through the urethra into the epididymis and testicles, causing epididymitis and orchitis, which can result in swelling and pain in the epididymis and testicles.
