Some men face such a problem as testicles hurt after arousal. It should be determined what to do and how to get rid of discomfort only after studying the symptoms and identifying the cause.
There are a lot of provoking factors for pain in the testicles. Some of them are caused by serious diseases, which can be cured only under the supervision of a doctor.
Cause of the pain
Faced with such a problem, you should familiarize yourself with some features of the anatomy and physiology of the male body. After the appearance of excitation, after 20-40 seconds, blood circulation in the male genital organ increases and enters the pelvic organs.
Consequently, this leads to a narrowing of the veins and the process of reverse blood flow slows down or stops completely. Such a process underlies penis enlargement after arousal.
With the onset of an erection, the penis increases its size by 3 times, changes in size reach even 10 cm, in contrast to a calm state. Given such a significant transformation of the organ, it needs an early discharge and return it to a calm state.
If a man has any malfunctions in the work of the pelvic organs, then discomfort arises from the created overstrain in the form of pain, especially because of this, testicles hurt for a long time.
Based on the physiological processes described above, it becomes clear why boys have testicle pain, especially if such a phenomenon is encountered during puberty. The sexual organ is not yet strong enough and is not fully formed. Excitation gives an excessive load on the organ, which leads to pain.
Diseases
If the reason is that a pathology develops in the body, then most likely it is a viral or bacterial disease. After the appearance of an inflammatory process in the male reproductive system, the organs are weakened, become vulnerable, and any overstressing of the tissues leads to pain.
There are several diseases, the symptomatic manifestations of which include pain in the scrotum:
- orchitis - an inflammatory process that appears as a result of transferred mumps;
- prostatitis - the appearance of inflammation in the tissues of the prostate gland. The disease leads to the ingestion of viruses, physical inactivity, frequent change of sexual partners, prolonged urinary retention. In the presence of prostatitis, pain in the testicles occurs even in a calm state of the penis. The nature of the pain is sharp, cutting. Additional symptoms are chills, fever and an increase in the size of the scrotum, difficulty urinating;
- deformation of the organ - if, as a result of any diseases or injuries, a deformation of the male genital organ has occurred, then there is a risk of a pronounced pain syndrome during arousal or intimacy. In such a situation, it is important to determine the cause and location of the deformation. Based on this, they select competent measures to restore the normal state of the penis. The same applies to testicular torsion, which leads to compression of the spermatic cord and obstruction of the release of sperm;
- varicocele - if the boy's testicles hurt, then, most likely, the cause is in this disease. In particular, this is evidenced by a painful sensation in only one part of the scrotum, for example, the right testicle hurts. Additionally, the pathology is recognized by the enlarged veins and the spermatic cord, which is visible to the naked eye through the skin of the scrotum. The pain syndrome during excitation intensifies;
- inguinal hernia - the main symptom is a protrusion of the peritoneum. Its location moves to a place unusual for the anatomical structure - to the inguinal canal. This leads to pinching of the spermatic cord and, accordingly, the appearance of pain. Often, the pathology develops asymptomatically, discomfort appears only during intercourse or arousal.
A man's testicles can hurt due to a mechanical injury to the intimate area.
Any infection, especially sexual, can provoke an inflammatory process in the scrotum. But even common viral colds give complications and lead to an inflammatory process in the male reproductive system.
Treatment
Given the list of diseases that cause testicles to break after arousal, therapeutic measures are determined only after examination and analysis. At the first signs of any of the pathologies, you should seek the help of a specialist, since each disease has its own characteristics and nuances regarding therapy for cure.
In order not to experience prolonged discomfort, it is important to understand how to relieve pain. This can be done with the help of completed sexual intercourse or masturbation. After ejaculation, the tension on the organ will decrease and then the pain disappears spontaneously.
If it is not possible to complete sexual intercourse or resort to masturbation, then you need to wait a while, the discomfort will go away on its own in a maximum of 4-6 hours.
Conclusion
At the first situation of pain in the scrotum, it is recommended to consult a doctor, regardless of whether the pain goes away on its own or not. Based on the normal course of the physiological processes of the male reproductive system, pain should not appear after arousal.
Accordingly, if there is one, then this indicates the presence of some kind of dysfunction or pathology in the body of a man.
