If you have pain in the scrotum, then you need to monitor your health more carefully. Many people do not care at all to take the symptoms of various diseases seriously, and in fact they can be a small bell warning that you have a life-threatening disease. There are a huge number of symptoms, while they do not show themselves at all, but when they do manifest themselves, it turns out to do something too late.
The scrotum is called a small bag of skin, inside of which are the testicles and appendages with the lower section of the spermatic cord of a man. The pain in the scrotum can probably be called one of the most unpleasant sensations in the life of males. It can drive you crazy, even if it does not pose a threat to health. Men, although strong in life, simply cannot bear it.
Oddly enough, but pain in the scrotum is one of the main reasons for visiting a urologist andrologist. It is very difficult to determine what causes the pain, since such a pain syndrome was detected in a large number of diseases, such as chronic prostatitis, trauma and swelling of the testicles, infectious and inflammatory diseases of the appendages and testicles, inguinal hernia, spermatocele, varicocele, testicular torsion and many others. This list goes on and on. There are even cases when chronic pain after treatment has not gone away, and this is observed in almost 25% of patients who have come to the doctor. So what is the cause of the phenomenon of egg pain in men? Let's sort it out in order.
Scrotal and testicular injury
Very often, the onset of pain is associated with trauma to the scrotum and testis. Have you lost consciousness from pain after hitting your testicles? This is an occasion for urgent medical attention, otherwise it threatens you at best with the loss of a testicle, and in the worst infertility. Jokes are jokes, but the medical care that will be provided to you is much more effective than the suffering that causes pain in the scrotum.
Testicular torsion
If the pain in the scrotum appears without any apparent causes and effects, then you probably have testicular torsion. This happens when the testicle changes its location, while the spermatic cord, on which it is suspended, twists 360 degrees, blood circulation stops in the testicle itself, and the vas deferens is compressed. Urgent medical care must help, it will be just a treatment, or surgery. If timely assistance could not be obtained, then the grave consequences are irreversible - the testicle will simply die. Doctors consider the cause of this disease to be a reduction in local musculature.
Epididymitis
Epididymitis is a disease of inflammation of the epididymis. Also causes unbearable pain in the scrotum. But unlike the above diseases, you can determine it yourself. For this, a man needs to feel his testicles and determine which one is larger and causes pain. It should also be remembered that usually there is either pain in the right egg or in the left. The pain occurs on an increasing, within three days. Epididymitis also has symptoms such as burning, spontaneous urination and fever. If you do not go to the doctor if you suspect this disease, then this will lead to impotence and infertility, so it’s better not to joke with this inflammation.
Varicocele
Varicocele also causes acute pain in the scrotum. But pain in this case is quite rare. They appear when the descended intestines exert great pressure on the scrotum. With inguinal hernia, the pain is gradually increasing in nature.
Symptoms requiring a doctor
First, be sure to go to the doctor if you touch the testicles and feel pain, it doesn’t matter if one testicle hurts or two. Secondly, if you notice an increase in one of the testicles, as well as a change in its shape and the appearance of softness. If the pain in the scrotum appeared suddenly. If you experience nausea, vomiting, and fever along with pain. If, for any reason, your scrotum was injured, or if, when feeling, you revealed that the testicle became convex and tuberous, which was not the case before.
Be that as it may, if you are in pain, be sure to consult a doctor and do not self-medicate.
