Patient's question:
I am a male, 19 years old, and have no bad habits. However, I was recently diagnosed with orchitis. Now, I feel severe pain in my testicles every day, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really troubled. Could you please tell me: What are the causes of testicular pain?Doctor's answer:
The causes of testicular pain are relatively numerous, with the most common being orchitis or epididymitis. Additionally, the testicle may tighten on its own, which is called physiological pain. Another condition that requires particular attention is testicular torsion. After testicular torsion occurs, it manifests as severe testicular pain. If medical attention is not sought in a timely manner, within less than 6 hours, it may lead to the loss of testicular function. Other conditions, such as the inversion of many testicular appendages, can also cause scrotal pain. Additionally, conditions like varicocele and many other diseases can also result in testicular pain. If testicular pain occurs, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for examination and treatment.
