It’s normal for any guy to worry about why his testicles may be hurting. Of course, it’s always a good idea to see your healthcare provider if you have unexplained pain, but testicular pain has many possible causes that range from relatively harmless to serious.

Hard flaccid syndrome (HFS) is a condition where the penis remains partially erect, making it difficult to achieve a full erection or return to a completely flaccid state.

We wouldn’t blame you if even hearing the words “testicular trauma” makes you shudder. No guy wants to think about getting hit in the most sensitive part of the body.

Sex should feel good, not painful. But for some men, it hurts. Male dyspareunia is the medical term for painful sexual intercourse in men.

Genophobia (also known as coitophobia) is a psychological condition characterized by a specific fear of sexual intercourse. Erotophobia is a related fear that more broadly focuses on a fear of sexual intimacy.

Venous leak (AKA veno-occlusive dysfunction) is a vasculogenic condition that affects the ability to maintain a satisfactory erection.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition characterized by difficulty or inability to get or maintain an erection firm enough for satisfying sexual activity.

The term “micropenis” is often used incorrectly to refer to a penis on the smaller side of average.

Orchitis is inflammation of one or both testicles. It’s usually caused by viral or bacterial infections. The name “orchitis” comes from the ancient Greek word for testicle.

Hyperprolactinemia is a medical condition characterized by elevated levels of prolactin in your blood.

Having an itchy beard is a common annoyance for men, regardless of what stage of growth it may be in—from stubble poking through to a full-length beard.

You may have heard stress causes hair loss. While that’s true, you probably won’t see hair loss from stress after one particularly tough work meeting or a tense conversation with your partner. But there is such a thing as stress-induced shedding.
