Patient's question:
I have been experiencing intermittent pain in my testicles recently and I don't know what the cause is.Doctor's answer:
Testicular pain can be broadly categorized into two types: acute persistent pain and chronic frequent pain. It is often caused by orchitis and injury, with testicular injury having a clear history of trauma. In addition to hematogenous infection, orchitis is more commonly caused by bacteria retrograding from the urethra to the epididymis and testes, leading to epididymitis and orchitis. It can also be seen after sexual activity, varicocele, prostatitis, ureteral stones, etc. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's urology department for relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis and provide symptomatic treatment.
