Testicular Pain

Testicular pain

Testicular pain is pain that occurs in or around one or both testicles. Sometimes testicle pain actually originates from somewhere else in the groin or abdomen, and is felt in one or both testicles.

Causes of testicle pain or pain in the testicle area can include:

1. Diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage caused by diabetes)
2. Epididymitis (testicle inflammation)
3. Hydrocele (fluid buildup that causes swelling of the scrotum)
4. Idiopathic testicular pain (unknown cause)
5. Inguinal hernia
6. Kidney stones
7. Mumps
8. Orchitis (inflamed testicle)
9. Prostatitis
10. Scrotal masses
11. Spermatocele (fluid buildup in the testicle)
12. Testicle injury or blow to the testicles
13. Testicular torsion (twisted testicle)
14. Urinary tract infection (UTI)
15. Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum)

Schedule a doctor’s visit if you have:

• Mild testicle pain lasting longer than a few days
• A lump or swelling in or around a testicle
