Xiao Wu recently found that his left testicle always hurts faintly. When he took a bath, he also found that his testicles seem to be getting bigger. Think about the frequent sex with his wife because he wants to have children recently. Could it be because he has done too much and caused any damage? With this fear, Xiao Wu came to Chengdu Shuguang Andrology Hospital for treatment.
In fact, the testicle is one of the important reproductive organs of men and the "birthplace" of sperm. When men have left testicular pain, they should pay high attention to it. If they are not checked and treated in time, it will affect the formation and quality of sperm, and even cause male infertility. So what about the left testicular pain of men? Please see the detailed introduction of experts below.
There are many reasons for male testicular pain. According to clinical observation, most of them are related to diseases of reproductive system infection. The diseases that cause male left testicular pain mainly include the following.
1. Acute orchitis: It usually occurs in patients with urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, prostatectomy and long-term indwelling catheter. The infection spreads to the epididymis through lymph or vas deferens and causes epididymitis. In severe cases, testicular abscess and testicular infarction may form. The diagnosis is mainly based on clinical symptoms such as high fever, chills, swelling and pain of testicles, redness of scrotum and edema.
2. Chronic orchitis: It is mostly caused by incomplete treatment of acute orchitis, and can also be caused by infection of mold, spirochetes, and parasites. From the pathological point of view, the testis is swollen or sclerotic and atrophic, the basement membrane of the seminiferous tubules is glassy and degenerative, the seminiferous epithelial cells disappear, there may be sclerosis around the seminiferous tubules, and small proliferative foci may also be formed.
3. Epididymitis disease: Epididymitis is one of the most common diseases in andrology. When the body resistance is low, pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus will seize the opportunity to enter the epididymis retrogradely and cause inflammation. Therefore, epididymitis often secondary to urethritis, prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis.
4. Testicular lesions: testicular lesions generally do not feel too painful, but can cause testicular swelling, sometimes only falling swelling. After a period of time, the testicles become firm and lose elasticity. In the early stage, the testicular surface is smooth, while in the late stage, the nodules are uneven, and necrosis, softening and ulceration occur, which then connect with the scrotal skin, making the scrotal surface dark red, and accompanied by vascular distortion and expansion.
5. External factors: due to intense exercise or sexual activity, external injury, etc., the levator muscle of the testis is strongly contracted, which causes the testicle to twist and cause severe testicular pain.
Because Xiao Wu attached great importance to the occurrence of left testicular pain, and promptly received treatment and controlled the condition, avoiding complications that might be caused, such as varicocele, spermatitis, prostatitis, and so on, so that his male sexual function recovered as soon as possible without causing greater harm to himself.
