Patient's question:
I am a male, 28 years old, and have no bad habits. However, I was recently diagnosed with orchitis. Now, I feel severe pain in my testicles every day, and sometimes I also have high fever. I am really troubled. Could you please explain why the pain in my testicles radiates to the area near my lower abdomen?Doctor's answer:
A heavy, bloated sensation in the lower abdomen, testicular pain – these are symptoms of epididymitis. Local cold compresses or using a bandage to support the testicles can be applied. Avoid overexertion, get plenty of rest, and take symptomatic medication orally for treatment. Avoid cold food and cold showers, as these may worsen the condition. In daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen the body, and keep a positive mood to enhance physical health and accelerate recovery.
