Testis is no stranger to men. In sexual life, it is an important organ. In reproduction, it is a factory for producing sperm and also secreting androgens. It can be said that testicles are the basis of a real man. Therefore, in daily life, we must take good care of and maintain the testicles, prevent various testicular diseases, observe and treat them early, and prevent them before they occur.
Epididymitis
The epididymis is located at the posterior edge of the testis, which is equivalent to a warehouse where sperm will be temporarily stored after production. Epididymitis is common in men around 30 years old. Most of them are infected by bacteria in the delayed urinary tract, which causes the bacteria to enter the epididymis through the vas deferens lumen. It often occurs with post-urethritis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc. The site can be unilateral or bilateral, and the attack time can be urgent or slow. If the whole scrotum is red, swollen, hot and painful, sensitive to touch, and burning when urinating. When the scrotum is still painful, but the symptoms are reduced when lying on the back, it means that you have epididymitis.
Orchitis
Orchitis is mostly caused by the failure of timely treatment of epididymitis, which is caused by bacterial viruses. If this disease is found in children, it is mostly caused by mumps virus. Its symptoms are similar to epididymitis, but testicular redness is not so obvious and intense. You can obviously see unilateral or bilateral testicular swelling, pressing pain, scrotal skin is also obviously red and swollen, and it feels hot at the same time. Because severe orchitis will lose fertility, doctors will also use antibiotics in addition to painkillers; In addition, cold compress the testicles.
Varicocele
The incidence rate of this testicular disease accounts for 10% of men in their 30s and 40s, and the longest time it is released is in the left testicle, because the blood flow of spermatic vein is silted up, resulting in the expansion, tortuosity and lengthening of venous plexus. Varicocele can also be caused by renal tumors. The reason why varicocele is worthy of attention is that it may be accompanied by testicular atrophy and spermatogenesis disorder, leading to infertility. The symptom is that you may feel faint pain, like a small bag of worms into your scrotum, and may feel nothing. However, when standing, varicose venous plexus can be seen or felt at the spermatic cord. In severe cases, there will be swelling pain of scrotum.
Seminal cyst
This testicular disease is often referred to as "the third testicle". In fact, it is a benign tumor caused by sperm in the testicle or epididymis. The swelling and swelling masses are mostly as large as a piece of sugar, which is very rare. Although there will be no pain in this testicular disease, the swelling is like a ball growing above your testicles, which can be felt alone. Under the flashlight in the dark room, the seminal cyst is shiny. There is no need to treat this disease. If you insist on removing those lumps, the doctor can remove them for you.
Hydrocyst of scrotum
The scrotal hydrocyst, a testicular disease, sometimes occurs after testicular injury or orchitis, but the majority of the causes are not found. It is caused by excessive production of tissue water between the membrane layers of one or two testicles. The main symptom is that the scrotum swells and bulges, sometimes the cyst can reach the size of a football, but it doesn't feel painful. During the treatment, the excess tissue water can be sucked up through a trivial anesthesia operation. In addition, the doctor should suture the small holes of the scrotum that leak out of the liquid.
