Patient's question:
The left groin occasionally swells, but it disappears on its own within a few minutes and without pain. The doctor said it's a hernia. I want to know if the slightly swollen right testicle is also a hernia?Doctor's answer:
Considering the possibility of orchitis is relatively high, traditional Chinese medicine confirms that orchitis is caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach. The spleen governs muscles, and when damp-heat from the spleen and stomach flows downward, it attacks the testicles, causing inflammation and symptoms such as redness, swelling, and discomfort. Chinese patent medicine Longdan Xiegan Wan can be replaced with Ermiao Wan for conditioning purposes. It clears heat, dries dampness, regulates Qi, and resolves turbidity. During medication, avoid spicy and extremely cold foods. In addition to timely treatment for male reproductive health, patients should also pay attention to care aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy foods. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment results.
