Some men face the problem that their testicles hurt after arousal. What to do and how to get rid of discomfort should be determined only after studying the symptoms and identifying the cause.
There are many factors that cause pain in the testicles. Some of them are caused by serious diseases, which can only be cured under the supervision of a doctor.
cause of pain
Faced with such a problem, you need to familiarize yourself with some features of the anatomy and physiology of the male body. After the onset of arousal, after 20-40 seconds, the blood circulation in the male genital organ increases and enters the pelvic organs.
Consequently, this leads to a narrowing of the veins, and the process of reverse blood flow slows down or stops altogether. Such a process underlies the enlargement of the penis after arousal.
With the onset of an erection, the penis increases in size 3 times, changes in size reach even 10 cm, in contrast to a calm state. Faced with such an important transformation of the organ, it needs a quick download and return it to a state of calm.
If a man has any malfunctions in the work of the pelvic organs, then the discomfort of overstrain created in the form of pain arises, especially because of this, the testicles hurt for a long time.
Based on the physiological processes described above, it becomes clear why boys have pain in the testicles, especially if such a phenomenon is found during puberty. The sexual organ is not yet strong enough and is not fully formed. Arousal creates an excessive load on the organ, which causes pain.
Diseases
If the reason is that a pathology develops in the body, then most likely it is a viral or bacterial disease. After the appearance of an inflammatory process in the male reproductive system, the organs weaken, become vulnerable, and any overload of the tissues causes pain.
There are several diseases, the symptomatic manifestations of which include pain in the scrotum:
- orchitis - an inflammatory process that appears as a result of transferred mumps;
- prostatitis - the appearance of inflammation in the tissues of the prostate gland. The disease leads to ingestion of viruses, physical inactivity, frequent change of sexual partners, prolonged urinary retention. In the presence of prostatitis, pain in the testicles occurs even in a calm state of the penis. The nature of the pain is sharp, cutting. Additional symptoms are chills, fever and enlargement of the scrotum, difficulty urinating;
- deformation of the organ - if, as a result of some disease or injury, a deformation of the male genital organ has occurred, there is a risk of a pronounced 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, they select competent measures to restore the normal state of the penis. The same applies to testicular torsion, which leads to compression of the spermatic cord and obstruction of sperm release;
- varicocele - if the boy's testicles hurt, then most likely the cause is this disease. In particular, this is evidenced by a painful sensation in only part of the scrotum, for example, the right testicle hurts. In addition, the pathology is recognized by the enlarged veins and the spermatic cord, which is visible to the naked eye through the skin of the scrotum. Pain during arousal intensifies;
- inguinal hernia - the main symptom is a protrusion of the peritoneum. Its location is moved to an unusual place for the anatomical structure - to the inguinal canal. This leads to a pinching of the spermatic cord and, consequently, to the appearance of pain. Often the pathology develops asymptomatically, discomfort appears only during sexual intercourse or arousal.
A man's testicles can hurt due to mechanical injury to the intimate area.
Any infection, especially sexual, can provoke an inflammatory process in the scrotum. But even common viral colds give complications and lead to an inflammatory process in the male reproductive system.
Treatment
Given the list of diseases that cause the testicles to rupture after arousal, therapeutic measures are determined only after examination and analysis. At the first signs of any of the pathologies, the help of a specialist should be sought, since each disease has its own characteristics and nuances in terms of therapy for its cure.
In order not to experience prolonged discomfort, it is important to understand how to relieve pain. This can be done with the help of full sexual intercourse or masturbation. After ejaculation, the tension in the organ will decrease, and then the pain will spontaneously disappear.
If it is not possible to complete sexual intercourse or resort to masturbation, you should wait a while, the discomfort will disappear on its own in a maximum of 4-6 hours.
Conclution
At the first situation of pain in the scrotum, it is recommended to consult a doctor, regardless of whether the pain disappears on its own or not. According to the normal course of the physiological processes of the male reproductive system, after arousal, pain should not appear.
Consequently, if there is one, this indicates the presence of some kind of dysfunction or pathology in the body of a man.
