Patient's question:
Hello, I want to ask what are the reasons for orchialgia? Recently, when my husband and I had sex, he always couldn't ejaculate and said his vas deferens hurt a lot. We are both very worried about him, wondering if something is wrong. We haven't gone to the hospital yet. I want to consult here to see what the cause of the orchialgia is.Doctor's answer:
Hello, chronic epididymitis: The affected scrotum may experience a heavy, distending, or painful sensation, or redness and swelling, with pain radiating to the abdomen and groin. Its clinical symptoms are milder than those of acute epididymitis, with a slower onset and a history of recurrent episodes. It is often accompanied by orchitis and epididymitis. Physical examination may reveal thickening and hardening of the epididymal segment of the vas deferens. In more severe cases, the vas deferens may be painful, adhere to surrounding tissues, and the cremaster muscle may be tense, with the scrotum and testis retracting upwards.
