Patient's question:
Patient Gender: MalePatient Age: 29
Symptoms: Testicular pain, lower back pain and fatigue, decreased sexual ability. What causes the testicular pain?
Doctor's answer:
Acute pain is commonly seen in orchitis and traumatic orchitis. In addition to hematogenous transmission, it is more common for bacteria to travel retrograde from the urethra to the epididymis and testes, causing epididymitis and orchitis. Clinical diagnosis is evident with swelling and pain in the epididymis and testes. In cases of testicular injury, there is a history of trauma and localized swelling or blood clots. Intense exercise or sexual activity, as well as violence, may sometimes cause severe contraction of the cremaster muscle, leading to the repositioning of a testis with an overly long spermatic cord and resulting in intense testicular pain. For patients with urological diseases, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
