1. Inflammation of the Prostate Gland
If not released, fluid can build up from just fantasizing and dreaming, and compress the gland. Other factors that might come into play are eating too much spicy food, spending too much time bike riding, horseback riding or just plain sitting.
2. Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Chlamydia, gonorrhea and E. coli can cause testicular pain. Make sure you both get tested so as to not ping-pong it back and forth between you.
3. Epididymitis
Swelling of the tube that connects the testicle with the vas deferens can cause tender, swollen groin. Other symptoms include pain during ejaculation or urination.
4. Testicular Torsion
Do your testicles rotate “freely” or sit much lower than expected? Especially common for adolescents, this warrants a trip to the ER to avoid testicular death.
5. Testicular Cancer
Your risk of testicular cancer is roughly 1 in 250. Make sure you’re not the one. Pain in the lower abdomen or a feeling of “heaviness” in the scrotum is a symptom.
The good news? Most of these 10 health concerns can be fixed with standard treatment or a prescription. Early prevention and intervention in all of them can make recovery quicker and more effective. Resist the temptation to hope the pain — whether vaginal or testicular — will go away.
