4. Orchitis
Orchitis is swelling in one or both testicles. There are many things that can cause it, and the swelling can press against nerves and tissues in the groin, and cause severe pain. The swelling is usually caused by an infection, but injuries can also cause it.
The mumps virus can also cause orchitis, and it is not uncommon for this condition to accompany other problems with the testicles. The underlying cause of the orchitis needs to be treated in order to reduce the swelling and stop the groin pain. Antibiotics are used to treat orchitis caused by infections, and surgery may be necessary to treat injuries.
The groin pain should subside within a few days of treatment or recovery. If the orchitis is not treated properly and persists for a long time, it can lead to fertility issues. If you notice groin pain and swelling, it’s important to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
