Can Too Much Sperm Cause Testicle Pain?

The body makes sperm all the time and stores it in a small tube called the epididymis. This is a normal process, and the amount of sperm that stays in the body is not enough to hurt the testicles. When someone has testicle pain, it is usually because of other causes such as an infection, swelling, or injury. Infections like epididymitis (inflammation of the tube where sperm matures) or orchitis (inflammation of the testicles) are common reasons for pain in this area. These conditions can make the testicles feel sore or tender. Other problems like testicular twisting (torsion) or an injury can also lead to pain. The medical literature shows that infections and other medical issues—not the amount of sperm—are what doctors look for when someone has testicle pain. If you are experiencing pain that lasts or gets worse, it is important to see a doctor so they can find out the true cause and help you feel better.
