The pain level of egg pain is equivalent to breaking 3200 bones?
There has been a joke circulating in the online world: generally speaking, normal people can withstand pain of 45 del (units). BUT, when a woman gives birth, the pain she has to endure is 57 del. Converted to about 20 broken bones. If a man is kicked into an egg, the pain is 9000 del, which translates to giving birth to 160 children or breaking 3200 bones at the same time. Many women say that this statement is too exaggerated, right? Bullying us has no culture!
Although women cannot feel the taste of egg pain, men will describe it through personal experience: although the moment of "hitting the egg" is brief, it hurts the heart. From football players, one can feel the first reaction of men when danger strikes. Faced with a strong shot of football, they often do not protect their head and chest, but coincidentally protect the "little Ding Ding". It can be seen that this area is the most sensitive and vulnerable area for men!
As we all know, the testis is a very important part of the male reproductive organs. As the most important part of androgen production and the only organ of spermatogenesis, it is self-evident that it plays an important role in the evaluation of male fertility. In male clinics, many patients have "egg pain" (scrotal pain) as their primary symptom, often with a panic expression on their face and the terrifying consequences of "losing children and grandchildren" often floating in their minds.
Besides physical damage that can cause pain in the testicles, what other diseases can cause "egg pain"? Can "egg pain" really lead to serious consequences of infertility?
In fact, what we commonly refer to as "egg pain" is not all caused by the testicles themselves. Diseases of the accessory gonads and surrounding tissues such as the epididymis, prostate, and spermatic cord can also cause scrotal pain, with the following common types.
1. Epididymitis
The epididymis is an organ that temporarily stores sperm and allows them to continue to mature, tightly adhering to the upper and posterior edges of the testicles. The epididymis and testicles are a pair of "difficult brothers and difficult brothers", often accompanied by infections, collectively known as epididymitis, which is a common cause of "egg pain". According to the length of the disease, it is divided into acute and chronic inflammation.
1) Acute epididymitis
Symptoms: Patients are mostly caused by bacterial infections, often occurring on one side. Initially, the symptoms are rapid swelling of one side of the scrotum accompanied by pain, radiating towards the same side of the groin and lower abdomen, and may be accompanied by high fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and other related digestive symptoms. It can also be caused by a virus. The common one is mumps virus, which usually starts with fever and headache. At the same time, there is swelling and pain of the parotid gland. After 7-10 days, there is swelling and pain of the scrotum. Bilateral viral orchitis is the most harmful to spermatid cells, which is a common factor leading to infertility and should be treated in time.
Treatment: In addition to using antibiotics or antiviral drugs for acute epididymitis, traditional Chinese medicine such as Xihuang Wan and Xinhuang Pian can also be used to clear heat, detoxify, and disperse swelling and nodules.
2) Chronic epididymitis
Symptoms: The variation is significant, and patients may not have obvious symptoms, but may also have obvious local discomfort, bloating, or pain, and sometimes acute attacks.
Treatment: Traditional Chinese medicine such as Fenxiang Juhe Wan can be used to promote qi circulation and relieve pain.
2. Testicular torsion
Testicular torsion is the first emergency in male urology, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may face the end of "enduring love". Although it can occur in various age groups, it is more common in the adolescent stage of 12-19.
Symptoms: Patients generally have a history of intense activity before onset, usually experiencing sudden testicular pain during sleep or rest. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, scrotal swelling, obvious tenderness, and even fainting.
Treatment: Once patients with testicular torsion are suspected or cannot be ruled out, they should seek medical attention immediately, "cherish time as fate", and be repositioned and fixed early to save the testicles and protect spermatogenic function. It is generally believed that when patients with testicular torsion seek medical treatment within 6 hours, the rescue rate for testicular rescue can reach as high as 80%. Unfortunately, for patients who undergo further treatment after 24 hours, the rescue rate is only 20%. At this time, even if the testicles can be preserved, their affected testicular function is often damaged.
3. Testicular injury
Symptoms: The testicles and appendages of normal men are located in the relatively loose scrotum, with high mobility. In addition, the testicles are protected by a tough capsule, which is generally not easily damaged. But precisely because of this, if damage occurs, it is often caused by direct violent factors (such as kicking, riding, knife injuries, accidents), and the consequences are often heavier.
Treatment: Once a similar situation occurs, do not delay and should immediately seek medical attention at a nearby hospital. The correct treatment method is the best way to reduce damage to the "lifeline".
Prevention: According to research, 16.8% of infertile men have experienced significant testicular damage during their adolescence, indicating that acute testicular damage not only "hurts the heart deeply and in the present," but also has immeasurable follow-up effects on men in the future. Therefore, the protection of the testicles is particularly important during adolescence.
4. Prostatitis
Symptoms: Chronic prostatitis can also cause "egg pain" in men. Patients often experience swelling and pain in the perineum and prostate area, which can lead to severe anxiety. These pain mainly comes from habitual contraction and spasms of pelvic muscles, and reflex pain caused by nerves that control the prostate is also an important cause. If there is significant pain in the testicles and other parts, it usually indicates a severe infection of the prostate, with a large amount of bacteria or other microorganisms present. Therefore, in patients with chronic prostatitis, the presence of infection should be taken into account when testicular pain is obvious.
In addition, prostatic fluid accounts for about 30% of semen, and the fibrinolysis enzyme contained in it can make the ejaculated semen become liquefied, so that sperm can sprint forward to find their "lover" - egg, and combine with it; Acid phosphatase is related to the vitality and metabolism of sperm, while zinc can provide energy for sperm and help them combine with eggs. In chronic prostatitis, the secretion function of the prostate is affected, which reduces the secretion of active substances, leading to the liquefaction of semen and the decline of sperm motility. These factors will reduce the probability of infertility or pregnancy.
Treatment: Traditional Chinese medicine has certain advantages in treating prostatitis. For those with obvious pain, products such as corydalis yanhusuo and neem can be added to promote blood circulation and relieve pain. At the same time, attention should be paid to avoiding cold and prolonged sitting. Before going to bed every night, you can take a sitz bath with sodium nitrite, wild chrysanthemum, phellodendron, and Su Mu decoction. The temperature should not exceed 42 ℃, and each time it takes 15 minutes. Attention, those who have not given birth should not take sitz baths.
5. Varicocele
Varicocele refers to the obstruction of the return of the spermatic vein or the failure of the venous valve, resulting in the elongation, dilation, and tortuosity of the spermatic vein plexus due to blood reflux.
Symptoms: This disease is often seen in adolescent patients, with the main symptoms being swelling of the affected side of the scrotum, local sagging, pain, more than fatigue, and worsening after prolonged standing. After lying flat and resting, these symptoms will alleviate or disappear. Some patients may also be accompanied by neurasthenia and decreased sexual function. If the disease is mild, it may also be asymptomatic. The main cause of this disease is venous blood reflux caused by congenital valveless spermatic vein or venous valve insufficiency. Clinically, the left incidence rate is significantly higher than the right, and the left side accounts for about 80%.
This disease may lead to male infertility. This is because the testicular blood flow on the diseased side is not smooth, venous blood remains, and the temperature of the scrotum is 0.6-0.8 ℃ higher than that on the normal side. This will cause testicular hypoxia and carbon dioxide accumulation, resulting in increased content of testicular metabolites in local blood, resulting in delamination of the seminiferous epithelium of seminiferous tubules, and disordered arrangement of spermatocyte and sperm cells, The ultimate result is a progressive decrease or even loss of sperm count, abnormal morphology, low vitality, premature shedding of immature sperm, obstruction of sperm maturation in the epididymis, and a decrease in semen quality, thereby affecting male fertility.
Treatment: For mild varicocele, clinical symptoms are not obvious, especially for unmarried young people or married individuals with normal fertility; For those with severe symptoms, significant degree of varicosity, or pain that cannot be relieved through non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment can be performed. Surgery has a significant effect on relieving scrotal swelling and pain in patients, but its effect on improving semen quality is related to the degree of varicosity.
Prevention: The prevention of this disease can instruct patients to avoid vigorous exercise and physical labor, maintain unobstructed bowel movements, have a moderate diet, and have regular sexual activities.
Alright, after understanding various types of "egg pain", can female friends better understand why their partners are so concerned about their eggs. No matter what kind of disease causes pain, you should seek medical attention in a timely manner!
