What causes testicular pain

Patient's question:

Hello doctor! I would like to consult about the reasons for testicular pain. I am 34 years old and have no significant medical history. However, a few days ago, I suddenly felt severe pain in my testicles. This pain has persisted for the past few days, and due to its intensity, it has significantly affected my normal work.

Doctor's answer:

Hello,
1. Orchitis. Pain is one of the main symptoms of orchitis, and once the testicles become inflamed, it will cause pain. If a man suffers from orchitis, it is important to seek timely treatment to avoid affecting fertility.
2. Testicular torsion. For example, men may experience testicular torsion during intense exercise or when the testicles are subjected to external force. This pain usually occurs suddenly during rest or sleep and is quite severe. Some patients may also experience nausea, vomiting, significant tenderness, and scrotal swelling.
3. Testicular injury. With the high incidence of car accidents today, men who suffer violence or car accidents may also cause testicular injury, leading to testicular pain and accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or even fainting. If examined in a hospital, the testicles may be found to be swollen or bruised.
4. Testicular ischemic pain. This condition is more common in the elderly and is usually caused by atherosclerosis of the testicular arteries, leading to narrowed arteries. The pain associated with this condition is quite severe.
