    As the most unique sexual organ of men, male testicles play a very important role, because it is not only related to men’s health, but also determines men’s “reproduction”, so the health of male testicles is very important. However, in real life, many men will experience testicular swelling and pain. Some cases are relatively mild and only hurt occasionally, while others are severe and the pain lasts for a long time. Therefore, many people want to know what is the cause of testicular swelling and pain. Now we will give a detailed introduction to this issue.

    1. What are the causes of swollen and painful testicles in men?

    1. Orchitis

    Orchitis is the most common cause of testicular pain in men. Because of the irritation of inflammation, male testicles feel pain. However, the pain in male testicles is not necessarily proportional to the degree of inflammation, but is related to the individual's nerve sensitivity.

    2. Epididymitis

    Epididymal cysts become infected and become inflamed, which can also spread to the testicles. Like orchitis, it can irritate the testicles and cause testicular pain in men.

    3. Scrotal inflammation

    Inflammation of the vagina not only irritates the male testicles, but also damages the sperm in the seminal vesicles, causing sperm death, thus reducing the male's reproductive function and causing male infertility.

    4. Male testicular arteriosclerosis

    Arteriosclerosis of male testicles causes cerebral ischemia pain in male testicles. Male testicular cerebral ischemia and testicular pain are common in the elderly. The pain is relatively strong, often aggravated by activity, and moderately relieved at rest.

    5. Testicular damage

    Testicular injury occurs when the patient's testicles suffer severe pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting after injury, and even pain in the right testicle may cause fainting or shock. What is the cause of male testicle swelling and pain is something that many men who have experienced this kind of experience want to know. This may be due to some diseases, such as orchitis, scrotal inflammation, testicular arteriosclerosis and testicular damage, etc.

    6. Tuberculosis infection

    When tuberculosis infection occurs, it is often accompanied by a history of tuberculosis in the genitourinary system or other parts of the body. The main symptoms include dull pain in the testicles, a sinking pain in the lower abdomen, and swelling of the testicles. In severe cases, thick fluid is discharged. When these diseased areas are touched with hands, there are uneven masses, which are hard and often adhere to the skin of the vagina.

    7. Testicular torsion

    Testicular torsion is one of the common dangers in the vagina. Generally, there is strong activity a few hours before the onset of the disease, or the male testicles are affected by external force. Severe pain in the testicles suddenly occurs during sleep or rest. This is the first symptom of the disease and one of the important diagnostic criteria. Some patients are accompanied by nausea and retching, testicular swelling, and dull pain.

    2. Common Problems to Prevent Male Testicles from Swelling and Pain

    1. There is no need to start a married life too early

    Generally speaking, a man does not mature until he is twenty-four or five years old. If he enters a sexual relationship very early, his reproductive organs will not be fully developed yet, which will consume his sperm and easily lead to varying degrees of erectile dysfunction. As an adult, he is prone to premature ejaculation, impotence, backache, and depression.

    2. Couple life does not need to be too frequent and too close

    Proper marital life can bring about happy moods and feelings, and is beneficial to the human body and health. However, if greed is the norm and one does not know how to control it, long-term hematoma in the male reproductive organs will cause sexual dysfunction and easily lead to prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, impotence, premature ejaculation, inability to ejaculate and other problems.

    3. Don’t wear jeans every day

    Medical clinical research has confirmed that men's urinary system requires the best conditions at low temperatures. Frequent wearing of jeans will cause the local temperature to be too high and lead to poor sperm quality. Therefore, it is not suitable to wear jeans frequently, especially in summer and when the climate is humid.

    4. Critical living environment sanitation

    Many communicable diseases in young men are related to unclean sex life; Unclean sexual life is not only easy to make you sick, but also spreads the disease to your wife and even your children, which is very harmful. Don't take chances.

    The above is a detailed introduction to the causes of male testicle swelling and pain. After understanding these, men who experience testicle swelling and pain can compare their specific conditions to see what the possible causes are and take effective countermeasures. In addition, if the swelling and pain are severe, you need to go to the doctor in time for examination and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment to prevent the symptoms from worsening or causing other related problems that will affect your health.
