Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year, and I have had a high fever for 2 days. Moreover, I am particularly afraid of cold. At first, I thought it was just a cold, but then I noticed that my testicles were getting more and more painful, and when I touched them, it felt like there was water inside. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with orchitis.Question: Do you need to take off your pants for a color Doppler ultrasound of the testicle, epididymis, and spermatic cord?
Doctor's answer:
In the case you mentioned, during the testicular spermatic cord color Doppler ultrasound examination, it is necessary to expose the affected area to perform the ultrasound. The instrument examination you mentioned, which includes the chest, wrists, and ankles, should be an electrocardiogram (ECG) examination. Therefore, it is not a color Doppler ultrasound examination.In addition to treating the epididymis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and accelerate the recovery process.
