Why does my testicle hurt when I touch it?

Pain when the testicles are touched may be related to orchitis, epididymitis, testicular torsion, testicular trauma, varicocele and other causes. The testicles are an important male reproductive organ. When symptoms of pain occur, you should seek medical examination in time to determine the cause and then carry out treatment.

Orchitis is usually caused by bacterial or viral infection and may be accompanied by symptoms such as fever, scrotal redness and swelling. During treatment, you can use drugs such as levofloxacin tablets, cefixime dispersible tablets, and ibuprofen sustained-release capsules as directed by your doctor. Epididymitis is often caused by retrograde urinary tract infection to the epididymis. A swollen feeling in the scrotum is common. Drugs such as ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets, acetaminophen tablets, and diosmin tablets can be used. Testicular torsion is an emergency, manifesting as sudden severe pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and requires immediate surgical reduction and fixation. Local hematoma may occur after testicular trauma, which requires cold compress and medication such as Yunnan Baiyao Capsules and Dieda Pills. Varicocele can cause dull pain that worsens after standing for a long time. In severe cases, high varicocele ligation is required.

In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping the vagina clean and dry, and avoid strenuous exercise or external impact. Wear loose, breathable underwear and avoid sitting or riding for long periods of time. Eat a light diet and drink plenty of water to promote metabolism. If symptoms such as persistent pain, swelling or fever occur, you should seek medical examination immediately to avoid delaying treatment.
