10 Causes of Testicle Pain
Cause #3: Varicocele
Everybody knows that our blood is pumped around the body by our heart, sending it through a system of tubes we know as veins, arteries and capillaries. In order to make sure that the blood flows in the right direction, and that gravity doesn’t cause it to pool, these tubes have valves that help control the flow. Sometimes, though, these valves can become faulty.
When this occurs specifically in the testicles, it is known as varicocele and it nearly always occurs in the left testicle. It is often clearly visible soon into the onset of the condition and can cause soreness. It is often treated with anti-inflammatories, although surgery is sometimes required.
