Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cao Zhiqiang
Common causes of testicular pain include the following categories:
1. Infectious diseases: Including acute epididymitis, orchitis, and secondary infections following varicocele. These conditions are usually accompanied by local redness, swelling, fever, and other symptoms, requiring timely antibiotic treatment.
2. Injury or trauma: Direct impact or trauma can cause testicular pain, sometimes even resulting in hematoma or rupture.
3. Testicular torsion: The testicle may twist due to vigorous activity or external force, blocking blood flow and causing ischemia, necrosis, and severe pain in the testicular tissue.
4. Tumors: Although relatively rare, testicular tumors can also cause pain. Tumors usually present as painless masses, but may cause pain as they grow larger.
5. Urogenital system diseases: Conditions such as prostatitis and urethritis may cause testicular pain through neural reflexes or blood circulation.
6. Other factors: Such as prolonged sitting, staying up late, fatigue, and excessive mental stress may also lead to testicular pain.
