What should I do if the testicles are swollen, painful, and heavy?

Patient's question:

Around 30 years ago, in the countryside, the heating stove wasn't lit in winter, and I slept there for a night. After that, whenever it got cold, my testicles would swell, ache, and feel heavy, with pain around them.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, testicular pain can be influenced by various factors. There are many causes for this, such as testicular injury, torsion, orchitis, prostatitis, epididymitis, tuberculosis of the testis, and other related factors that may lead to the condition you are currently experiencing. It is more likely that there is a local inflammation or infection. In the near future, it is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods, and maintain good hygiene of the affected area. Orchitis is a common disease, and it can be relieved through general treatments such as alleviating testicular swelling and pain, bed rest, local heat application, and elevating the scrotum. Alternatively, antibiotic treatment can also be used to alleviate orchitis.
