Testicular Pain Management Specialist in Tampa, FL

What is Chronic Testicular Pain?

Chronic testicular pain (Orchialgia) can occur in one testicle or both testicles and become significantly bothersome to a patient. The testicular pain remains constant or intermittent for three months or longer. Chronic Orchialgia is the cause of 2.5% to 5.0% of all urology consultations and affects about 100,000 men in the United States each year. Symptoms may be triggered by walking, stooping, or hyperextending the hip.
