Testicle Pain
Most men, on some occasions, may present localized pain in the testicles, wich, over a few hours or days, improves spontaneously or, on the contrary, could persist or worsen progressively.
On the other hand, this pain can be understood as an alarm sign about some other problem, since it is not normal to have testicular pain
Severe testicular pain that begins suddenly requires immediate medical attention. If a young man has abdominal pain he should always examine the scrotum carefully. Sudden and severe testicular pain can be a sign of testicular torsion, that is, twisting of a testicle, in which the blood supply is rapidly cut off.
This condition requires immediate medical treatment to prevent loss of the testicle. Testicular torsion can occur in men of any age, although it is more common in adolescents.
Main causes of testicular pain
Testicles are very sensitive. Even a minor injury can cause pain. In some conditions, abdominal pain can occur before testicular pain.
- Presence of varicocele (Varices of the spermatic cord)
- Inflammation or infection (orchitis or epididymitis)
- Testicular torsion
- Tumor pathologies
- Trauma or blows in the area
- Pathologies of a benign nature such as cysts
- Spreading or radiating pain
