    Testicular pain that has been held in for a long time is generally a normal phenomenon. It may be caused by epididymo-orchitis, prostatitis and other reasons. You need to go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations.

    1. Normal phenomenon

    If you have not had sex for a long time, a sudden erection may cause local stasis, bleeding and pain.

    2. Epididymis and testicles

    If there is no ejaculation for a long time after an erection, the testicles will become congested, which may also be accompanied by local swelling and pain. It needs to be relieved by applying local hot compress with a warm towel.

    3. Prostatitis

    If the erection lasts for a long time, it may cause prostate congestion, which may irritate the prostate. Inflammation will cause local pain symptoms. You need to go to the hospital for relevant examinations. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can treat it with azithromycin tablets, doxycycline tablets and other drugs.

    In addition to the above-mentioned common causes, it may be caused by varicocele and other reasons, which should be treated in time.
