Patient's question:
A child playing accidentally got injured and it seems like they may have bumped their testicles. There is some redness and swelling, and they have been having difficulty urinating recently. I want to ask what symptoms and reactions can occur from testicular injury in children.Doctor's answer:
In boys, testicular injuries are more commonly associated with congenital conditions, such as the most common condition of cryptorchidism, where the testicles cannot be felt in the scrotum. This has a significant impact on the child's fertility and requires prompt intervention. Acquired injuries are more often caused by inadequate parental care. If an injury occurs again, the baby will cry very intensely because the pain is severe, and it may even lead to pain shock. If detected, immediate medical attention should be sought. For patients with urological conditions, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
