Some men face a problem such as sore testicles after waking up. It should be determined what to do and how to get rid of the anxiety only after you have studied the symptoms and identified the cause.
There are many provocative factors for testicular pain. Some of them are caused by serious diseases, which can be cured only under the supervision of a doctor.
Cause of pain
In the face of such a problem, you should be familiar with some features of the anatomy and physiology of the male body. After the onset of stimulation, after 20-40 seconds, blood circulation to 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 is slowed down or stopped completely. Such a process underlies the enlargement of the penis after arousal.
With the onset of the erection, the penis increases in size by 3 times, the size changes reaching up to 10 cm, as opposed to a relaxed 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 dysfunction in the work of the pelvic organs, then the discomfort arises from the overload created in the form of pain, especially because of this, the testicles are injured for a long time.
Based on the physiological processes described above, it becomes clear why boys have testicular pain, especially if such a phenomenon is encountered during puberty. The sexual organ is not yet strong enough and is not fully formed. Harassment puts an excessive load on the body, which leads to pain.
Diseases
If the reason is that a pathology develops in the body, then it is most likely a viral or bacterial disease. After the appearance of an inflammatory process in the male reproductive system, the organs weaken, become unprotected and any excessive tissue stress leads to pain.
There are several diseases, the symptomatic manifestations of which include pain in the scrotum:
- orchitis - an inflammatory process that occurs 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 retention of urine. In the presence of prostatitis, testicular pain occurs even in a relaxed state of the penis. The nature of the pain is sharp, cutting. Other symptoms are chills, fever and an increase in scrotum size, difficulty urinating;
- Organ deformity - if, as a result of an illness or injury, a deformity 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 deformity. Based on this, they choose competent measures to restore the normal condition of the penis. The same goes for testicular torsion, which leads to compression of the spermatic cord and inhibition of sperm release;
- 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. In addition, the pathology is recognized by the enlarged veins and spermatic cord, which is visible to the naked eye through the skin of the scrotum. Pain on waking intensifies;
- inguinal hernia - the main symptom is an enlargement of the peritoneum. Its location shifts to an unusual location for the anatomical structure - the inguinal canal. This leads to tightening of the spermatic cord and, accordingly, the appearance of pain. Often, the pathology develops asymptomatically, discomfort appears only during sexual intercourse or waking up.
A man's testicles may be injured due to a mechanical injury to the intimate area.
Any infection, especially sexually transmitted, 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 testicular rupture upon awakening, 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, as each disease has its own characteristics and nuances in relation to therapy for cure.
In order not to experience prolonged discomfort, it is important to understand how to relieve the pain. This can be done with the help of completed sexual intercourse or masturbation. After ejaculation, the tension in the organ will decrease and then the pain disappears spontaneously.
If it is not possible to end sexual intercourse or resort to masturbation, then you have to wait a bit, the discomfort will go away on its own in a maximum of 4-6 hours.
Conclusion
In 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 physiological processes of the male reproductive system, after awakening, pain should not appear.
Therefore, if there is one, then it indicates the presence of some kind of dysfunction or pathology in a man's body.
