8 Common Causes of Testicular Pain

8. Inguinal Hernia

This is one of the most common testicular pain causes. Inguinal hernias occur when a chunk of fatty tissues or intestine squeezes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. You may wonder how your intestines moving out of position could be a testicular pain cause. Well, this is because a hernia will descend through the same path your testicles followed into the scrotum. Inguinal hernias are not normally dangerous and may improve on their own. However, It can be very painful if a hernia continues to enlarge and may lead to serious, life-threatening complications. In these circumstances, surgery is recommended. You can ignore the pain and keep asking yourself ‘why do my balls hurt?’ because you fear the answer might make you less of a man. The truth is, you’re better of knowing. It may be a choice that lets you keep your balls.
