Hi...rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a vasculitis or a disorder which will cause inflammation of the blood vessels. It is an autoimmune disease and can affect blood vessels anywhere in the body. Stomach pain is common in this disorder. But testis getting affected is rare. Though RA is primarily a disease of the joints, extra‐articular organ involvement is not an infrequent manifestation, particularly in patients with severe joint disease.
