"Egg pain" is a popular phrase that has frequently appeared in the online world in recent years. It is often teased by netizens for doing all sorts of unreasonable things because it is too boring. In fact, "egg pain" is not only a joke, but also a disease. Its corresponding symptom is male testicular pain, which is called "varicocele" in medicine. Egg pain is the killer of male semen, and its incidence rate accounts for 15%~20% of male infertility.
Of course, many men do not need to be too panic about this disease. Generally, mild and moderate patients can be treated with drugs, special underwear, lifestyle changes, etc., because their semen is not affected or there is no need for fertility. Infertility patients with severe symptoms or abnormal sperm can be subject to high ligation of internal spermatic vein, and the improvement rate of semen after operation can reach 50%~80%.
6 diseases can cause egg pain
In addition to physical damage that can cause pain to the testicles, what other diseases can cause egg pain? Does egg pain really cause serious consequences of infertility?
In fact, the egg pain we usually talk about is not caused by the testicle itself. Diseases of the accessory gonad and its surrounding tissues, such as testicle, prostate, spermatic cord, also cause scrotal pain. The common ones are as follows.
1。 Orchitis
The testicle is close to the upper and rear ends of the testicle and is the organ that temporarily stores sperm and makes sperm mature. Testis and testis are brothers and sisters. They are often complicated with infection, collectively called orchitis, which is a common cause of testicular pain. According to the length of the disease, there are differences between acute and chronic. Acute cases are often caused by bacterial infection and often occur on one side. The initial manifestation is rapid swelling of the scrotum on one side with pain, which radiates to the groin and lower abdomen on the same side, and can be accompanied by high fever, chills, nausea, vomiting and other digestive symptoms. It can also be caused by viruses. The common one is parotitis virus, which usually has fever and headache as the initial symptoms, and parotid gland swelling and pain occur at the same time. After 7-10 days, scrotal swelling and pain occur. Bilateral viral orchitis has the greatest damage to spermatogenic cells and is a common factor leading to infertility. It should be treated promptly. In addition to the treatment of antibiotics or antiviral drugs, acute epididymitis can also be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, such as Xihuang pill, Xinhuang tablet, etc. The symptoms of chronic orchitis vary greatly, and the patient has no obvious symptoms, local discomfort, swelling or pain, sometimes acute attack.
