Patient's question:
What are the causes of testicular pain? My bilateral testicles have been in pain for 5 years. It's now constant 24-hour pain. I've been to the hospital multiple times, but they haven't found any major issues. Every time, they prescribe medications related to the prostate, but none of them have helped at all. Last year, I had surgery for varicocele, but the symptoms are still the same. The only improvement is that the lower abdomen no longer hurts, but the testicles still do.Doctor's answer:
Orchitis is a common cause of testicular pain. There are many causes of orchitis, such as patients with mumps, who may develop orchitis and experience testicular pain and swelling; gonorrhea; gonorrhea is currently the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease, and in severe cases, it can cause orchitis, leading to testicular pain and swelling; chronic prostatitis can also cause testicular pain, characterized by unilateral pain, often dull or pulling pain, and continuous in nature. Microscopic examination of prostatic fluid reveals a large number of white blood cells. The patients are mostly young and middle-aged adults, with the elderly being less common.2.
