Some men face a problem that their testicles hurt after excitement. Only after studying the symptoms and identifying the cause should you decide what to do and how to get rid of the discomfort.
There are many provocative factors in testicular pain. Some of them are caused by serious illnesses that can only be cured under the supervision of a doctor.
The cause of pain
Faced with such a problem, you need to become familiar with some features of the anatomy and physiology of the male body. 20-40 seconds after the onset of arousal, blood flow to the male genitalia increases and enters the pelvic organs.
Consequently, this leads to narrowing of the veins and the process of reverse blood flow is slowed down or stopped altogether. This is the process behind penis enlargement after excitement.
With the onset of an erection, the size of the penis triples, with size changes reaching up to 10 cm, in contrast to the relaxed state. Given such a significant transformation of the organ, it needs early discharge and needs to be restored to a resting state.
If a man has any disorder in the work of the pelvic organs, the resulting overload will cause an uncomfortable feeling in the form of pain, especially because the testicles hurt for a long time.
Based on the physiological processes described above, it becomes clear why testicular pain hurts in boys, especially when we encounter this phenomenon during puberty. The genitals are not yet strong enough and are not yet fully developed. Excitation puts an excessive strain on the organ, leading to pain.
Diseases
If the cause is pathology in the body, it is probably a viral or bacterial disease. After the onset of the inflammatory process, the organs in the male reproductive system become weakened, vulnerable, and tissue overload leads to pain.
There are a number of diseases, the symptoms of which include scrotal pain:
- orchitis - an inflammatory process caused by transmitted mumps;
- prostatitis - the appearance of inflammation in the tissues of the prostate gland. The disease leads to ingestion of viruses, physical inactivity, frequent exchange of sexual partners, and prolonged urinary retention. In the presence of prostatitis, testicular pain occurs even when the penis is relaxed. The nature of the pain is sharp, cutting. Other symptoms include chills, fever and an increase in the size of the scrotum, difficulty urinating;
- organ deformity - if any disease or injury has resulted in a deformity of the male genitalia, there is a risk of severe pain syndrome during arousal or intimacy. In such a situation, it is important to determine the cause and location of the deformation. Based on this, competent measures are chosen to restore the normal condition of the penis. The same applies to testicular torsion, which leads to compression of the sperm cord and impeding the release of sperm;
- varicocele - if the boy's testicles are sore, the cause is probably in this disease. This is especially evidenced by the painful sensation in one part of the scrotum, such as the right testicle. In addition, the pathology is recognized by the enlarged veins and the sperm cord, which is also visible to the naked eye through the skin of the scrotum. The pain during excitement increases;
- inguinal hernia - the main symptom is the protrusion of the peritoneum. Its location moves to an unusual location in terms of anatomical structure - the groin canal. This leads to pinching of the sperm cord and the appearance of pain accordingly. Often, the pathology develops asymptomatically, with discomfort occurring only during intercourse or arousal.
The testicles of a man can be pained due to mechanical damage to the intimate area.
Any infection, especially a sexual infection, can trigger an inflammatory process in the scrotum. But even frequent viral colds cause complications and lead to an inflammatory process in the male reproductive system.
Treatment
Given the list of diseases that cause testicular fractures after arousal, therapeutic measures are determined only after examination and analysis. At the first sign of any disease, the help of a specialist should be sought, as each disease has its own characteristics and nuances in terms of curative therapy.
In order not to experience prolonged discomfort, it is important to understand how to relieve pain. This can be done through complete sexual intercourse or self-satisfaction. After ejaculation, the tension in the organ decreases and then the pain disappears spontaneously.
If it is not possible to end sexual intercourse or complacency, you will have to wait a bit, the discomfort will go away on its own in up to 4-6 hours.
Conclusion
It is recommended to see a doctor in the first painful position of the scrotum, regardless of whether the pain goes away on its own or not. Based on the normal course of physiological processes in the male reproductive system, pain should not appear after arousal.
Accordingly, if there is one, it indicates the presence of some dysfunction or pathology in a man’s body.
