When a patient is bothered by a pulling pain in the testicles, it is first necessary to understand, and what can provoke such a symptom?
As you know, pain occurs due to compression or irritation of nerve endings, and, therefore, can lead to this condition:
- swelling of the tissues;
- compression from the outside and from the inside;
- disorders of nerve conduction.
Thus, a pulling pain in the testicles is nothing more than a manifestation of any disease from the three groups listed below.
First of all, inflammatory pain caused by hypothermia can cause drawing pain in the scrotum ; sexually transmitted infections; urogenital pathology.
Most often, patients come with such symptoms to a venereologist or urologist. After the infectious agent enters the body of a man, a specific inflammatory process occurs at the injection site, which is characterized by swelling and redness of the tissues, an increase in temperature at the reaction site, as well as general intoxication symptoms (chills, weakness, fatigue). However, in addition to the pain symptom, most often men note the presence of specific secretions from the genitals.
The pathology of the kidneys of an infectious-inflammatory nature, in addition to all of the above, is accompanied by girdle lumbar pain and a violation of the process of emptying the bladder.
Drawing pain in the testicles may be a symptom of a recent injury to the scrotum. At the same time, the blow or compression does not have to be strong, sometimes only a small force is enough for the formation of edema or hematoma, because the tissues of the testicles are very thin and excessively exposed to the outside. As a result of the accumulation of exudate, compression of the nerve endings occurs, which provokes pain. As a rule, after an injury, you can see a defect in the skin in the form of edema or darkening of the tissues.
Drawing pain in the left testicle is most often the initial manifestation of varicose veins in this area or cyst formation. However, both are diagnosed using ultrasound methods using the study of the vascular bed. Most often, apart from the pain of the patient, nothing bothers in the initial stages.
If a man is bothered by a pulling pain in the right testicle, then we can assume that he has a hernial protrusion, cyst, or renal pathology. Most often, of course, this symptom appears with an inguinal hernia. If the protrusion is too large and begins to squeeze adjacent organs - there is pain. This disease can manifest itself with other clinical symptoms, only when the hernia becomes large and visually noticeable, then additional symptoms may appear.
Drawing pain in the testicles and oncological pathology is also a fairly common combination. The fact is that testicular cancer from the very beginning may be asymptomatic. Then the tumor gradually increases in size and begins to squeeze the nerve trunks, blood vessels and membranes, and only then does pain appear. Cancer is difficult to differentiate with other pathologies, so it is necessary to analyze for specific cancer markers to exclude or confirm this disease.
The anatomical structural features of the male reproductive system often lead to symptom of testicular torsion, as a result of which pain in the scrotum may occur.
The penetration of pathogenic microorganisms during excitation from the prostate into the testicles can cause epididymitis. It also occurs with pain and an inflammatory reaction. At the same time, the disease progresses steadily, and the testicle increases in size, and the intensity of the pain increases. This condition requires immediate treatment.
Drawing pain in the testicles is a consequence of prolonged abstinence. This is the state of the body in a man, when periodic arousal does not end with ejaculation, as a result of which sperm accumulates and stagnates in the cords - there is swelling and pain.
