Patient's question:
What could be the reason for testicular pain? Recently, I occasionally feel pain in my testicles during intimacy with my wife, and I haven't taken it seriously. Now the pain seems to be getting more frequent. I thought it might be inflammation and bought some anti-inflammatory medication from a pharmacy, but after taking it for about a week, there hasn't been any improvement. I'm starting to feel a bit reluctant to have sex.Doctor's answer:
Sperm immune testing consists of three parts: AsAb testing, seminal plasma immune suppressive substance testing, and sperm cellular immune testing. Clinically, AsAb testing is still the most commonly used method. There are many methods for detecting AsAb, but current techniques are limited to detecting immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, and a few IgM). There are two main approaches: one is to detect AsAb attached to sperm (direct method); the other is to detect AsAb in serum, semen, and female reproductive tract secretions (indirect method). The direct method is more reliable.
