Patient's question:
I have been experiencing intermittent pain in my testicles recently and don't know the reason.Doctor's answer:
Testicular pain can be broadly categorized into two types: acute persistent pain and chronic recurring pain. It is primarily caused by conditions such as orchitis and injury. Testicular injury often has 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, and other conditions. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's urology department for relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.
