Patient's question:
Male, 26 years old. This situation has been going on for a while. He always feels like there is fluid accumulation in his testicles, and they are red and swollen. However, because it's a sensitive area, he feels embarrassed to see a doctor. After doing some research, he suspects it might be orchitis. Please ask: How to treat testicular swelling and pain, and scrotal dampness?Doctor's answer:
Based on the discomfort you have described, it is important to be aware of the possibility of prostatitis. The causes include: microbial bacterial infection, direct spread from urinary tract infections, prolonged congestion of the prostate, such as frequent sexual activity, excessive sexual intercourse, prolonged sitting, drug abuse, colds and exposure to cold, and overly forceful massage techniques, among others. In clinical diagnosis, tests such as routine prostatic fluid analysis and prostate ultrasound are commonly used for diagnosis. Therefore, it is recommended that you take this seriously and seek early medical advice for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, in daily life, proper self-care for the prostate is essential, such as: drinking plenty of water, avoiding prolonged sitting, staying active, refraining from spicy and irritating foods, quitting smoking and alcohol, and moderating sexual activity.
