10 Causes of Testicle Pain
Cause #8: Epididymitis
The body is interlaced with various tubes that are responsible for carrying liquids from one place to another. One of these is the epididymis, which is in the testicles and is responsible for carrying sperm. This tube can sometimes become inflamed from certain bacteria, resulting in a condition known medically as epididymitis.
Epididymitis can cause the testicles to become painful, red and visibly swollen. While it can often be treated with antibiotics, surgery is sometimes the only choice. Surgery is likely to cause the patient to become sterile, so if you are experiencing pain in that area you should seek medical assistance as soon as possible.
