Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been experiencing pain in my right testicle. What could be causing this?Doctor's answer:
Usually, epididymitis, varicocele, or hydrocele are the main causes of testicular pain. In patients with right epididymitis, the testicle has diffuse inflammation internally, with bacterial or other pathogen infections, leading to local redness, swelling, and pain. Right hydrocele occurs when there is fluid accumulation inside the testicle, causing it to swell and cause pain. Right varicocele involves the thickening of veins on the surface of the testicle, which can also result in right testicular fullness and pain.
