10 Urethritis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #3: Orchialgia
Orchialgia, or testicular pain, occurs when there is pain in part of the testicle (either one or both). The term can also be used to describe scrotal pain. The causes of orchialgia include conditions such as testicular torsion, Fournier’s gangrene, orchitis, and epididymitis.
In urethritis, men who are affected tend to complain of a sensation of heaviness in the genitals. However, if there is pain in the testicles, further examination should be made to rule out orchitis, epididymitis, or both. Ultrasound can be useful to rule out emergency conditions such as torsion.
