Testicular and lower abdominal pain may be caused by various factors, mainly including:
1. Prostatitis: Frequent sexual activity, prolonged cycling, or excessive masturbation may trigger prostatitis. During inflammatory episodes, referred pain to the testicles and lower abdomen may occur.
2. Orchitis: Bacterial or viral infections can directly affect the testicles, causing testicular pain, which may be accompanied by lower abdominal pain in severe cases.
3. Testicular torsion: Conditions such as an excessively long spermatic cord or testicular injury may lead to testicular torsion, resulting in severe testicular pain that may radiate to the lower abdomen.
In addition, other conditions such as seminal vesiculitis may also cause similar symptoms. If such symptoms occur, prompt medical evaluation is recommended to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
