What does it mean when one of your testicles is hurting?

Answer 1

Testicular PainSometimes testicles can be sensitive from time to time. This is normal and really nothing to worry about. It's just the the testicles are hypersensitive sometimes for some reason, one I'm not sure of. To cure it? Well a cure would be to take a pain killer, such as Tylenol or ibuprofen. As with most pain, if the pain persists for at least 5 straight days, or has a pattern, (like every two days), then use your common and see a doctor about your testicular pain.

Answer 2

Common causes of testicle pain include: * Injury * Infection or inflammation * Testicular torsion -- most common in young men between 10 and 20 years old Possible infections include: * Epididymitis -- inflammation of the ducts through which sperm leaves the testicle. This is often caused by bacteria like chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease. * Orchitis -- inflammation of one or both testicles, which may be caused by bacteria or a virus like mumps. Orchitis can occur at the same time as epididymitis or prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland). Fluid in the testicles often causes painless swelling, but may cause mild discomfort. There are several main types of fluid collection: * Varicocele -- enlarged veins in the scrotum that carry blood away from the testicles. * Spermatocele -- fluid in the epididymis that forms a cyst and often contains dead sperm cells. * Hydrocele -- fluid in the area inside the scrotum, surrounding the testicle; common in newborns. Pain may also be caused by a hernia or an unrelieved erection.
