How can cycling cause testis pain?
Factors that can cause pain in the testicles from cycling.
1. Poor saddle position
An incorrectly positioned bicycle saddle can be extremely uncomfortable for a rider. A saddle that is too high or too low can lead to a sensation of numbness which is often as a result of pudendal neuralgia- the trapping of the pudendal nerve. Pudendal neuralgia is also known as Alcock canal syndrome.
How high should your bicycle saddle be? Your saddle should initially be horizontal (or close to) and when fully extended at the base of your pedal stroke their slight be a small amount of flex in your knee when your foot is parallel to the ground
2. Testis trauma
If you you consider how many times your turn your cranks each minute and hour you start to realise just how many crank revolutions you achieve on a ride. Unfortunately there is a high possibility you may catch your testicles at point point either while normally pedalling, or while sitting back onto the saddle after a period of standing up pedalling.
Also while riding can cause pressure trauma due to nerve compression which can lead to a senstaion of temporary numbness.
3. Testicular torsion
Testicular torsion occurs when your testicle rotates around the scrotum which leads to restrictions in blood flow, therefore leading to swelling and very intense pain. Though not often associated with cycling if you do have issues with testicular torsion from cycling it's recommended to visit Accident and Emergency Ward of your local Hospital) very quickly after the problems arise.
4. Fluid accumulation in the testes
The testes are a very complex area of the male body. Varicoceles, spermatoceles and hydroceles within the organ can be affected by non cycling related problems and can lead to infections and fluid accumulation. Tiredness from cycling can weaken the immune system giving rise to such problems.
Address these issues and you;re well on the way to preventing sore balls from cycling.
