    If there is a hard lump in the testicle but no pain, it may be due to testicular infection, varicose veins, orchitis, etc., and timely treatment is required.

    1. Testicular infection

    It may be caused by testicular tuberculosis. Testicular pain and chills are usually symptoms. You should go to the hospital for abdominal color ultrasound examination and urinary examination in time.

    2. Varicose veins

    If varicose veins appear in the testicles, it will generally lead to poor blood circulation in the testicles, which may cause the symptoms of hard lumps in the testicles. You can cooperate with your doctor to use minimally invasive surgery to clear them.

    3. Orchitis

    If there are diseases such as unclean sex, urethral stricture, prostatic hyperplasia, etc., bacteria will invade and retrograde infection through the vas deferens will lead to orchitis, testicular enlargement, and hard lumps will appear. In the early stage of the disease, there will be no obvious symptoms such as pain, itching, etc.
