Sperm cramps refer to a discomfort or pain that men experience in their lower abdominal region or testicles, often linked with sperm production or ejaculation. It is not a formal medical term, but it is commonly used to describe these discomforts thought to be related to sperm production or ejaculation. The level of pain associated with sperm cramps varies from person to person, ranging from a dull ache to a sharp, cramping pain. The symptoms of sperm cramps include recurring abdominal or testicular pain, a dull, aching discomfort in the lower abdomen, and an intermittent sharp pain, similar to a cramp. The exact cause of sperm cramps is still unknown, but several factors might be at play, including prostatitis, inflammation of the prostate gland, and varicocele, swelling of veins that drain the testicle. Infections of the reproductive organs, like epididymitis or urinary tract infections, can also cause pain or cramping sensations in most cases. Physical activity, such as cycling or weightlifting, can sometimes lead to testicular discomfort or pain due to increased pressure or friction. In some cases, sperm cramps may be a symptom of a more serious condition, such as testicular torsion or a sexually transmitted infection. If you are experiencing persistent or severe cramping, it is important to seek medical advice.
