Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen with a dull ache. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and it's particularly intense. It seems the other side is also slightly swollen. I'm very worried. Please ask: How is epididymitis treated?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the testicles are asymmetrical. Generally, if there are no other abnormal conditions, it is considered normal. It is recommended to pay more attention to observation. If the difference is particularly significant, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination. Under normal circumstances, testicles are usually not perfectly symmetrical, with one being larger than the other. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely and symptomatic treatment, and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
