Orchialgia is a term that can only lead to confusion with regard to symptoms and etiology of the symptoms. It implies testicular discomfort or testicular pain that is intrascrotal. Testicular pain per se probably is appreciated in the lower abdomen and internal ring and not in the testicular body. Therefore, true orchialgia, namely testicular pain of unknown etiology, would be more appropriately described as lower abdominal pain (in the absence of any inflammatory ailments), which is worsened by testicular pressure or palpation. Treatment of the patient with orchialgia has been a difficult and often unrewarding clinical situation. Return to gainful activity without significant use of analgesics is the desired goal. Microsurgical testicular denervation has been used in 2 patients in an effort to achieve this goal without sacrifice of the testes.
睾丸痛是一个在症状及症状病因方面只会造成混淆的术语。它意味着阴囊内的睾丸不适或睾丸疼痛。睾丸疼痛本身可能在下腹部和内环处感觉到，而不是在睾丸实体部位。因此，真正的睾丸痛，即病因不明的睾丸疼痛，更恰当的描述应该是下腹部疼痛（在没有任何炎症性疾病的情况下），这种疼痛会因睾丸受压或触诊而加重。治疗睾丸痛患者一直是一种困难且往往没有成效的临床情况。不大量使用镇痛药而恢复有收益的活动是期望达到的目标。为了在不切除睾丸的情况下实现这一目标，已对2名患者采用了显微外科睾丸去神经术。
