Why does the right testicle hurt? What causes testicular pain?

Testicles are very important for men. If you experience testicular pain, you must check the cause in time. Testicular pain can be divided into acute and chronic types. The most common type of testicular pain is caused by orchitis.

1. Testicular pain can be roughly divided into two types: acute persistent testicular pain and chronic recurrent testicular pain.

2. Acute testicular pain is more common in orchitis and injury. In addition to blood infection, orchitis is more commonly caused by bacteria retrogradely traveling through the urethra to the epididymis and testicles, causing epididymitis and orchitis. Clinically, swelling and pain of the epididymis and testicles can be seen. Testicular injury is accompanied by a history of trauma and local swelling and congestion. Vigorous exercise, sexual intercourse, or violence can sometimes cause a strong contraction of the levator testis muscle, which can twist the testicles with an overly long frenulum and cause severe testicular pain. Since testicular torsion blocks the blood supply to the testicle, in addition to severe testicular pain, there is also scrotal swelling and skin edema. Acute pain is relatively easy to diagnose.

3. Chronic testicular pain can last for a long time in mild cases. The pain is mild, generalized, and radiates, so it is not easy to determine the exact location of the inflammation. Testicular pain is not necessarily proportional to the severity of inflammation. Some people have highly sensitive nerves, so even mild inflammation can cause more severe pain; while some others are more sluggish and feel the pain is less severe. Some pain occurs after sexual intercourse, which may be due to sexual excitement causing the genitals and gonads to become highly congested. Some pain is caused by varicose veins of the spermatic cord or pain radiating from other parts of the body, such as radiating testicular pain caused by ureteral stones. Experts from the Reproductive Infection Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Chongqing Shuguang Men's Hospital remind you: At this time, you must carefully identify the real cause in order to effectively treat the symptoms.

The above introduces the causes of testicular pain. We hope that understanding these can be of great help to the treatment of patients with orchitis. We remind male friends that when treating orchitis, you must choose a regular hospital, receive symptomatic treatment based on the cause, and do a good job of daily health care.
