Patient's question:
Hello Doctor! I would like to consult about the cause of my testicular pain. I am 34 years old and have no significant medical history, but suddenly felt severe pain in my testicles a few days ago. This condition has persisted for several days, and the pain has been very distressing, severely affecting my normal work.Doctor's answer:
The most common cause is bacteria retrograde from the urethra to the epididymis and testis, leading to epididymitis and orchitis, causing swelling and pain in the epididymis and testis. In the acute phase, orchitis is characterized by redness, swelling, and pain in the scrotal skin, with a noticeable sense of heaviness and fullness when walking. In the acute phase, epididymitis presents with scrotal swelling and pain, which can radiate to the lower abdomen and groin. If orchitis and epididymitis are not treated properly during the acute phase, they may both develop into chronic orchitis and epididymitis.
