Why swell the testicles?

The causes of swelling of the testicle may be different. I remember how in the Soviet times one guy was badly beaten. At first he had a swollen right testicle, and then left one. By the way, in the norm the right testicle is almost always smaller than the left one. This physiology and pathology is not. However, in the event that something seems unnatural to you, not like usual, it seems to be a specialist. Especially if it's a child.

Swollen testicles with certain diseases. In this case, such a symptom may be accompanied by pain. For example, this was the case with the above-mentioned guy with a testicle injury. Other pathologies include infection in a certain area, mumps, widening of the veins in the scrotum, twisting of the spermatic cord.

Eggs are protected from external influences with the help of a scrotum - a skin-muscular sac. Thus, the thermoregulation function is performed, and at an unfavorable moment, due to pulling the testicles to the abdomen and damping, they are protected from blows. Each testicle is provided with a "lifter". If it's cold outside, then these "lifters" also pull the testicles closer to the body.

Swollen testicles in boys if the intestinal loop goes into the inguinal canal. This is certainly a pathological case. Sometimes the inguinal ring can even overgrow, and then the testicles do not have a back stroke. The inguinal canal does not grow up to the end, because the spermatic cord passes through it. However, when lifting weights or applying other excessive forces, the canal, in addition to the bowel loop, can also come out with an omentum.

In such cases, swollen testicles or one of them, but the pain may not be. Characteristically, with a slight pressure on this swelling, it quickly disappears. The more dangerous the inguinal hernia is, the fact that the outgoing loops of the intestine are prone to infringement. Then, of course, the pain can be very strong. Infringements of this kind can lead to necrosis of a certain part of the intestine. Naturally, such pathology requires an early medical examination and the appointment of quality treatment. As a rule, this is surgical intervention. In some cases, a long-term wearing of a special bandage may be prescribed.

If the testicles swell, then this may be a symptom of the developing cyst in the scrotum . This cyst is filled with various kinds of contents, and the pathology is called hydrocele or dropsy. In such cases, patients complain that they have swollen the right testicle (maybe the left one). In this case, the examination reveals the formation of a cyst that is filled with fluid. The liquid is clear and light, and the tumor itself is watery, painless and soft.

Particular inconveniences such swelling almost does not bring. Nevertheless, progressing, it can provoke a congestion in the cavity of the scrotum fluid, which presses on the nerve endings and blood vessels and can disrupt the nutrition of the testicles, and even lead to atrophy. As it is not trite sounds, but if the testicles swell, a timely qualified examination will help to avoid many of the listed problems.

Due to severe injuries with a rupture of the urethra, a pathology occurs, in which urine accumulates in the cyst cavity. This pathology is called a condition. Operative intervention in such cases is mandatory. When probing the scrotum, painless nodules can be found, in which pain is felt when the squeezing is more severe. In this case, it can be a varicocele at which changes occur, both in the vessels, and in the scrotum and in the vas deferens. Discomfort, this pathology may not cause, but in those cases when it causes anxiety, painful feelings, it is necessary to consult a doctor. The specialist can remove the affected vessels.

Due to the impact in the scrotal area, a blood cyst can be formed - a hematocoel, which almost always dissolves without treatment. However, the conclusion from the read is the following: if you notice swelling of the testicle - contact specialists and avoid many health problems!
