Hi,
Sharp pain in the testicles can have several causes, and it is important to determine the underlying cause in order to receive appropriate treatment. Here are a few possible causes:
* Urinary tract infection: Holding urine for too long can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) which can cause pain in the testicles.
* Testicular torsion: This is a medical emergency in which the testicle twists, cutting off its blood supply. This can cause severe pain, swelling, and discoloration of the scrotum.
* Epididymitis: This is the inflammation of the epididymis, a small tube that sits at the back of the testicles. It can cause pain in the testicles and swelling in the scrotum.
* Varicocele: This is the swelling of the veins that drain the testicles, and can cause a dull ache or sharp pain in the testicles.
* Hernia: A hernia happens when tissue or any organ pushes through a weak area in the muscle or tissue. This can cause a sharp pain in the groin or testicles.
It is recommended that you see a doctor for an evaluation to determine the underlying cause of the pain in your testicles.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
