What Causes Testicular Pain? Expert Insights from Helloklarity

Understanding Testicular Pain

Testicular pain refers to discomfort or pain originating from one or both testicles. It can vary in severity and duration, often signaling underlying health issues that require medical evaluation.

Common Causes of Testicular Pain

Infections

Infections such as epididymitis or orchitis often cause pain, swelling, and redness. These conditions are typically treated with antibiotics.

Trauma or Injury

A direct blow or injury during sports or accidents can result in pain, swelling, or bruising.

Varicocele

Enlarged veins within the scrotum can cause dull, aching pain often worsened by standing or physical activity.

Testicular Torsion

A twisting of the spermatic cord leading to sudden, severe pain and swelling. It requires urgent surgical intervention to preserve testicular function.

Hernia

Inguinal hernias can cause discomfort and may be associated with bulging in the groin area.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Healthcare providers typically perform a physical exam, ultrasound imaging, and laboratory tests to determine the cause of pain. Early diagnosis helps prevent long-term complications.

Treatment Options for Testicular Pain

Medications

Antibiotics for infections, pain relievers, and anti-inflammatory drugs are common treatments.

Surgical Intervention

Emergency surgery is necessary for conditions like testicular torsion. Other surgeries may be performed for hernias or varicoceles.

Pain Management

Supportive measures include scrotal elevation, ice packs, and rest to reduce discomfort.

When to Seek Urgent Medical Care

If experiencing sudden, severe pain, swelling, nausea, or fever, immediate medical attention is vital to prevent testicular loss or other serious complications.
