In men, superficial pain, burning or severe itching may be experienced in the testicular, glans or urethra area before or after ejaculation. Causes may include musculoskeletal issues, prostate disorders, previous surgery, cysts or stones, and antidepressant drugs.
Chronic testicular or scrotal pains may occur after vasectomy, or due to infections such as sexually transmitted infections, epididymitis, prostatitis, and orchitis, but also due to varicocele, hydrocele, spermatocele, inguinal Hernia, polyarteritis nodosa, testicular torsion, Fournier gangrene, previous surgery and/or injury.
