The testicles become hard and do not hurt when pinched

The most sensitive part of the male body should be said to be the reproductive organs. Although their reproductive organs, unlike women’s reproductive organs, are not easy to clean inside the body and are susceptible to infection and disease, compared with other parts of the male body, men’s reproductive organs are also more susceptible to injury and illness. Male friends cannot be too negligent about this. Among the male sexual organs, the testicles are the place where male sperm is produced and stored, which is particularly important for boys’ reproductive ability. Therefore, once there is a problem with the male testicles, it may have a certain impact on reproduction. The most common disease of the male testicles is epididymitis. Some male friends will ask why the testicles become hard but not painful in epididymitis? Let’s take a look.

Bacterial infection orchitis is mostly caused by inflammation of the epididymal cyst adjacent to the male testicle, so it is also called epididymal cyst-orchitis... Whenever the body's resistance is low, some bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and other pathogenic bacteria will take the opportunity to travel in the opposite direction into the ejaculatory duct and invade the epididymal cyst, causing epididymal cyst infection and inflammation. The male testicles themselves are rarely infected because the male testicles have a very rich blood and tissue fluid supply system and are extremely resistant to bacterial infections. Epididymal cyst-orchitis is generally divided into three types. The first common symptom is fever and chills. The male testicles will feel swelling and pain, and the male testicles will also become hard, with red and astringent urine, dry stools, and red and greasy tongue coating. This type of acute orchitis is the lower burner damp-heat type. Treatment is mainly based on purging cold dampness, detoxifying and eliminating carbuncle. The second type is acute orchitis due to qi deficiency and blood stasis. The clinical symptoms include male testicles gradually swelling and becoming hard, mild pain, white and dark tongue coating, and petechiae around it. Treatment should focus on replenishing qi, activating blood circulation, and resolving knots. The last type is acute orchitis caused by hemorrhage, which will cause the testicles to be swollen and painful due to trauma, or swollen and hot, and the tongue will be green with ecchymosis. The main treatment is to activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and relieve pain.

The above are the types and symptoms of epididymal cyst-orchitis. If the male testicles are only hard and without pain, it may be the second type of acute orchitis with qi deficiency and blood stasis. Mild pain may not be felt by patients sometimes, or it may not be serious, so the male testicles do not feel pain. In fact, the treatment of acute orchitis is not very difficult. As long as you seek medical treatment in time and follow the doctor's instructions to choose appropriate treatment, it can be cured quickly. Note that you should not drink or smoke during the treatment period. It is best not to smoke or drink afterward, as this will be beneficial to the healthy growth and development of male testicles.

If young people do accidentally get epididymitis, they don’t need to be too anxious. This is actually more common among young people. Because today’s young people’s living habits are unhealthy, their physical function and resistance will also become worse. As long as you maintain a good lifestyle and strengthen your physique, the chances of getting sick will be much less. You must take care of your body no matter what.
