Persistent testicular pain and a sensation of heaviness can be distressing and may indicate an underlying urological condition that requires medical attention. While occasional discomfort may not be a cause for concern, constant or worsening pain should not be ignored. Under the expert care of Dr. Pruthvi Raj Honnaiah, patients receive a thorough evaluation and specialized treatment to identify and address the root cause of their symptoms.

Urological Causes of Constant Testicular Pain and Heaviness

• Varicocele: Enlargement of veins within the scrotum, leading to a dull ache and a feeling of heaviness, especially after standing for long periods or physical exertion.
• Epididymitis: Inflammation of the epididymis due to infection, causing persistent pain, swelling, and tenderness in the testicles, often accompanied by painful urination or fever.
• Testicular Torsion: A medical emergency where the testicle twists around the spermatic cord, cutting off blood supply. Causes sudden, severe pain, swelling, and nausea and requires immediate surgical intervention.
• Hydrocele: Accumulation of fluid around the testicle, leading to a sensation of heaviness and mild discomfort.
• Hernia: An inguinal hernia, where part of the intestine pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, causing testicular pain and heaviness, particularly when standing or lifting heavy objects.
• Chronic Prostatitis: Inflammation of the prostate gland can lead to referred pain in the testicles, along with pelvic discomfort, painful urination, and urinary urgency.
• Testicular Tumors: Although rare, persistent testicular pain can sometimes indicate the presence of a tumor. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment.

Diagnosis and Treatment

At Dr. Pruthvi Raj's clinic, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted to determine the cause of constant testicular pain and heaviness. This includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and advanced diagnostic tests such as ultrasound, urine analysis, and blood tests.

The treatment plan is customized based on the underlying condition:

• Varicocele & Hydrocele: Managed conservatively or with surgical correction if symptoms persist.
• Epididymitis & Prostatitis: Treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications.
• Testicular Torsion: Requires emergency surgery to restore blood flow and prevent complications.
• Hernia: May need surgical repair to relieve pain and prevent further issues.
• Testicular Tumors: Evaluated thoroughly, with treatment options including surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, depending on the diagnosis.
