Should I Be Worried If My Testicle Is Swollen?

Are you worried about your swollen testicle? Are they painful? Do you observe any hardness in your testicle? If the response is yes, then you've arrived at the appropriate page. In this article, we will discuss testicular pain treatment at home and herbal medicines that effectively treat swollen testicles.

Testicular Pain: How does it occur?

The male reproductive system is not complete without the testicle. These are the glands that create sperm and testosterone. Infection of the urinary tract in men is often a rare occurrence, but inflammation or infection of one or both of a man's testicles is a common illness that should never be disregarded. Their health and fertility may suffer as a result. 

Typically, testicular pain is a symptom of infections that affect the testicle. This condition is an inflammatory condition that results in a swollen testis. The primary symptom, severe pain, might manifest rapidly since testicular pain typically has an acute phase. One or both testicles may experience pain, and this discomfort may radiate to the groin region as well. 

The bacteria that cause testis pain include:

  • Escherichia coli,
  • Staphylococcus, and
  • Streptococcus

Additionally, the mumps virus can infect children and produce enlarged testicles. Boys in particular need to have the mumps vaccine before age 10, as youngsters with swollen testes may experience a condition called testicular atrophy, which is the shrinking of the testicle.

Causes of Swollen Testicle

Listed below are some causes of the swollen testicle:

  • Epididymitis: inflammation of the tubes that attach to the testis.
  • Inguinal hernia
  • Mumps: a viral infection that can inflame the testicle
  • Orchitis: inflammation typically occurs in only one testicle
  • Infection of the scrotal sac
  • Spermatocele: a cyst in the scrotum
  • Trauma or injury to the testicle
  • Varicocele: a condition in which blood pools in the scrotum
  • Hydrocele: swelling in the scrotum resulting from fluid build-up

Testicular cancer can also result in a swollen testis, however, this is extremely uncommon. Additional indications of testicular cancer can include:

  • A hard, painless testicular lump.
  • Swelling or a heavy sensation in the scrotum.
  • Pain in the scrotum, stomach, and lower back.

Symptoms of Swollen Testicle

Listed below are some symptoms of the swollen testicle:

  • Swelling of one or both testicles
  • Pain ranging from mild to severe
  • Fever
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • A general feeling of unwellness (malaise)
  • Tenderness or infection in the scrotum
  • Pain while ejaculating
  • Pain while urinating
  • Blood in your semen
  • Abnormal discharge
  • Swollen lymph nodes in the groin

You should seek emergency medical attention if your testicular pain:
