Patient's question:
Last week, I noticed that my testicles were a bit red, but since there were no symptoms, I didn't take it seriously. Last night while taking a shower, I accidentally touched my testicles and felt a bit of pain. I touched it myself and thought there seemed to be a lot of liquid inside. I was very scared. Please ask: How much does it cost to check for testicular inflammation at the hospital, and how can it be improved?Doctor's answer:
Testicular can recur following urethritis and cystitis. The common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The transmission routes are primarily divided into hematogenous transmission, direct transmission, and lymphatic transmission. Clinical diagnosis mainly manifests as pain radiating to the ipsilateral inguinal region and lower abdomen, accompanied by chills, high fever, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is also important to differentiate it from epididymitis, where the boundaries between the epididymis and testis become unclear, the epididymis becomes hardened, and the vas deferens becomes thickened. If any issues are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for a follow-up examination. After identifying the underlying cause, targeted treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition.
