Dr. Li Mingchuan
Masturbation can lead to testicular pain. Excessive masturbation may easily cause prolonged congestion and edema of the penile corpora cavernosa, leading to genital inflammation and resulting in pain. Therefore, patients should strictly limit the frequency of masturbation and pay attention to personal hygiene. Patients should undergo targeted examinations such as scrotal color Doppler ultrasound, abdominal color Doppler ultrasound, and routine semen analysis to prevent adverse effects on reproductive health and function.
