Symptoms of disease - pain in the testicles

The testes (testicles) - a male sex gland. The testicles (right and left) are located in the respective halves of the scrotal in men. To the upper pole of each testicle suitable seed cord, consisting of shell eggs, testicular arteries, veins testicular venous plexus and seed outflow. On the side surfaces of the testes on the way from the top to the bottom of the pole are appendages of the testes, of which the lower pole of the testicle are continuing in the VAS deferens. The testicles can be felt his hands through the skin scrotal in the form of rounded formations elasticity consistency. Testicular appendages will be found in the form of rollers on the side of the testicles.

The main function of the testes:
- production of the male sex hormone (testosterone);
- production of sperm (male sex cells, necessary for the process of fertilization).

The main functions of testicular appendages:
- carrying sperm from the testicles to seed outflow channels;
- implementation of the process of maturation of sperm.

Pain in the testicle may occur as an adult man, as an adolescent, and even a child. Pain in the testicles - this is one of the most acute sensations, which a man can move in your life. Even if the pain is not related to the immediate threat to health and life, it is overpowering the man, cause the fear of death, is accompanied by a profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting.

Which diseases there is pain in the testicles

Causes of pain in the testicles:
Pain in the testicles (pain in the testicle) is a fairly frequent reason of the appeal to the urologist-andrologist. Causes of pain in the testicle may become infectious-inflammatory diseases of the testicles (orchitis) or appendage (epididymitis), chronic prostatitis, STDs (ureaplasmosis, clamidiosis, mycoplasmosis), surgery, trauma and tumors of the testes, inguinal hernia, testicular torsion, varicocele, hydrocele or gonocele. In most of these diseases are easily diagnosed and treated. Sometimes the pain in the testicle becomes chronic, even after the appropriate course of treatment. According to statistics, in 25% of patients the cause of chronic pain in the testicle cannot be found.

- Most often pain in the testicles occurs in acute injury scrotal. Less often it develops gradually, if the injury scrotal chronic and is not too strong in itself. Violation of the integrity of the testicles occurs very rarely, but also normal blow to the testicles can lead to immediate loss of consciousness. Fortunately, the direct damage to the testicles is quite rare. If You feel a sudden and severe pain in the testicles, is not caused by an injury, seek medical help. If testicular trauma is accompanied by injury with a sharp object, to the doctor should be taken immediately, to avoid the development of severe complications (loss of testicular, infertility).

Acute pain in the testicles develops on a background of complete well-being, without any impact on the scrotal. It happens when torsion of the testicle. The egg is suspended on seed cord, which contains in itself the blood vessels and the VAS deferens. Sometimes testing changes its position, Curling around the longitudinal axis. This leads to torsion seed cord on 360 degrees, interruption of the circulation of the testicle, pinching seed outflow flow. If has not been provided urgent medical aid (up to surgical intervention), the testicle may wither away.
The reasons for torsion testicular unknown; physical activity here, apparently, nothing to do with it, because of the often happens in a dream. The cold weather somehow increases the risk, then, a certain role here can play a reduction of the local muscles. The frequency of this disorder decreases rapidly after 30 years (at least some of the gains from a total loss of elasticity of tissues that comes with age).

- Pain in the testicles with epididymitis - inflammation of the epididymis, also can be a terribly strong. But the man himself can feel scrotal and determine what testing has increased, and painful to the touch.
Usually caused epididymitis bacteria are, as a rule, gonococci or chlamydia that cause, in addition, urethritis (inflammation of the urethra). Experts suggest that the high pressure in the urethra makes infected urine move on seminiferous the Bayou back to appendage. The main reason of increase of pressure in this area is sexual excitement, but the inflammation of the appendage and there are old people, when the bacteria are spread from infected prostate.
Inflammation of the epididymis is almost always the case with only one hand. The pain intensified gradually, within one-three days. A man can celebrate and other symptoms of infection of the urethra tract - the increase of temperature, spontaneous urination or a burning sensation in the channel.
Access to a doctor be sure - inflammation can lead to infertility and impotence.

- Orchitis (inflammation of the testicles) is a fairly rare condition, except for the complications of mumps. Many adults are afraid of this diagnosis, believing that the complication will cause them to sterility (infertility). I explain that it happens, but less than they think.
Cause inflammation of testicular - virus epidemic parotitis (mumps) usually affects the salivary glands of children, forming a strong swelling of the lower jaw and causing fever and a General ill feeling, which lasts about a week. The virus infects and other bodies, among them the most often (for unknown reasons) testicles. But this almost never happens before the onset of sexual maturity. Standard course of the disease. Mumps in adults is not heavier than children, and orchitis affects a total of 20 to 30 percent of cases. Only in 10% of these cases reveals defeat of both testicles.
Symptoms of mumps appear suddenly, on the third-fourth day after the swelling of the salivary glands: a sudden increase of temperature, and the testicles swell and become painful. The disease lasts for a week or a little less, and then (approximately 50% of cases) slain by the testicles shrink in the next two months. Atrophy testicle usually produces fewer sperm, but the man with one normal egg does not lose the ability to fertilization. Even bilateral orchitis does it necessarily lead to infertility, if atrophy of both the sex glands do not gone too far.

- Varicocele, as the cause of acute pain in the testicles, is quite rare. Usually, if varicocele is accompanied by pain, it increases gradually, although it may have the character of a strong and unbearable.
An inguinal hernia can cause pain in the testicles, if in scrotum dropped a lot of guts, which provides physical pressure in the testicles.

"It can be a pain in the testicles, as a reflection of the pain sensitivity in urolithiasis, cysts and tumors of the kidneys. Examination by a urologist should be, if you do not see the real source of the pain.

- One of the frequent causes of pain in the testicles in young men is unsatisfied sexual arousal. During sexual arousal the blood accumulates as to the penis, so in the testicles. If sexual arousal for a long time does not receive a discharge in the form of ejaculation, swollen testicles may ache (the so-called "blue balls"). Men often use this argument, telling women not to delay their sexual satisfaction. But after a few hours the pain passes and without ejaculation. Unsatisfied sexual stimulation, and therefore pain in the testicles, can be removed with the help of Masturbation.
