Testicular pain can have several causes, from infections to traumatic injuries. Sometimes, testicular pain can be a medical emergency.<\/p>\n
Testicular pain refers to pain or discomfort felt in one or both testicles. The pain may be acute or chronic, dull, sharp, or a sensation of soreness or vague discomfort\/ache.
\n The primary role of the testicle is to produce sperm and the hormone testosterone.
\n Many diseases and other health conditions can cause testicular pain, and some causes are medical emergencies.<\/p>\n
\t\tThe testicles are very sensitive. Even a minor injury can cause pain. In some conditions, abdominal pain may occur before testicle pain.<\/p>\n
