Testicular pain refers to discomfort or pain in one or both testicles, the male reproductive glands located in the scrotum.
Pronunciation
Testicular pain is pronounced as tes-tik-yuh-lar peyn.
Etymology
The term "testicular" is derived from the Latin word "testiculus," meaning "witness," and "pain" comes from the Old French "peine," meaning "punishment."
Causes
Testicular pain can be caused by a variety of conditions, including testicular torsion, epididymitis, orchitis, varicocele, hydrocele, and inguinal hernia. It can also be a symptom of testicular cancer.
Symptoms
In addition to pain, symptoms may include swelling, redness, and tenderness in the testicles. Some conditions, such as testicular torsion, require immediate medical attention.
Treatment
Treatment for testicular pain depends on the underlying cause. It may include antibiotics for infections, surgery for conditions like testicular torsion or hernias, and pain relievers for less serious causes.
