Scrotal pain can be caused by a variety of reasons, including but not limited to infection, trauma, and circulatory problems. Understanding the possible causes can help in taking appropriate measures or seeking professional help.
Scrotal pain can stem from bacterial or fungal infections, such as epididymitis or orchitis, which are typically accompanied by fever, redness, and swelling of the scrotum. If the pain worsens after meals, it may be due to poor local blood circulation. Another possibility is trauma, such as a collision or fall during exercise; in these cases, the pain usually occurs suddenly and may be accompanied by local swelling.
Besides the reasons mentioned above, scrotal pain can also be related to varicocele, in which case the pain usually worsens when standing or walking and may be relieved by rest. If the pain is severe and lasts for a long time, accompanied by hematuria or a lump, you should seek medical attention immediately, as this could be a sign of a serious condition such as testicular torsion or a tumor.
[Prevention Tips:]
1. Maintain personal hygiene and clean the genital area regularly.
2. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time; engage in appropriate physical activity to promote blood circulation.
3. Take appropriate protective measures during exercise to avoid impact to the genitals.
4. Pay attention to a healthy diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods that may cause local discomfort.
