10 Causes of Testicle Pain
Cause #10: Orchitis
Different parts of our bodies can swell up for different reasons. Sometimes, the reason is quite benign but other times swelling can be an indicator of something quite serious. Orchitis is the medical term for when the testicles become painful and swollen, and it is something that should be taken quite seriously.
Orchitis could be caused by an infection or sexually-transmitted disease. It could also be caused by mumps, which can cause the patient to become sterile if not treated in time. Regardless of the suspected cause, you should see a doctor straight away if you are suffering from orchitis.
