Pain in the testicles

Eggs called the male glands responsible for the production of sperm and sex hormones. The health of the testicles has a direct effect on the childbearing function and the physical condition as a whole.

This paired organ is characterized by increased sensitivity. It is believed that the most painful feeling for a man is a pain in the testicles. In such cases, there is a marked deterioration in his condition. In addition, there is weakness, nausea, irritability, increased sweating, and in some cases thanatophobia (fear of death).

Most of the ailments that accompany pain in the testicle have been studied and described by specialists. However, in many cases it is not possible to determine the causes of discomfort and unpleasant sensations. Therefore, when soreness occurs, it is recommended to perform a palpation of the scrotum. Thus, it is possible to detect the presence or absence of a change in the size or shape of the organ. To find out the exact reason for the pain in the testicles, a specialist (urologist or andrologist) is capable.

There are a number of characteristic signs, in the course of which the doctor's consultation is simply necessary. These include, mainly, a sudden pain of an acute or traumatic character in the scrotum, gradually intensifying and accompanied by nausea, fever, chills. The undoubted reason for seeking help is a change in size, shape and density in one of the testicles, especially if it is painful when touched by the organ.

As practice shows, it is quite difficult to immediately name the reason for such a state. Experts define a number of the most probable factors, as a result of which pain in the testicles develops.

Unpleasant sensations can arise due to mechanical influence on the scrotal area. As a rule, after injuries of varying severity, there is a sharp pain that quickly passes. However, in some cases, pain shock and even loss of consciousness may occur . Chronic injuries are characterized by prolonged, growing pain in the testicles. It should be noted that in such cases, there is usually no violation of the integrity of the glands. However, timely seeking help from a doctor will help prevent unwanted consequences. When cutting or piercing wounds occur, immediate medical intervention is necessary.

Soreness in the testicles can be a consequence of inflammatory processes. As a rule, they are caused by infectious and viral diseases. The most common of them include prostatitis, epididymitis, orchitis, as well as diseases transmitted during sexual intercourse (chlamydia, mycoplasmosis, ureoplasmosis).

Frequent causes of pain are the ailments associated with various deformities and other pathologies.

These diseases include a torsion of the testicle. In this case, deformation occurs in the spermatic cord, which prevents blood circulation and leads to compression in the vas deferens. This condition requires an immediate medical attention. Otherwise, hydrocephalus may develop or the body die completely.

Pain also accompanies such a dangerous disease as varicocele (varicose veins in the spermatic cord). The last stage of this disease leads to the development of infertility and involves surgical intervention.

In some cases, there is pain in the testicles after ejaculation. This may be due to infections of the bladder, prostate or seminal vesicles. Sometimes soreness of a burning or acute character during the eruption of sperm indicates gonorrheal inflammation.
