Patient's question:
My boyfriend recently discovered that his testicles are of unequal size. When I asked him about it, he said he doesn't feel anything, but sometimes experiences a dull ache. What should he do if his testicles keep moving upward and cause pain?Doctor's answer:
The causes of testicular discomfort are numerous, such as: prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, varicocele, and so on. The testicle is the largest reproductive organ in men, and if inflammation occurs, it will inevitably affect future sexual life and fertility. Different causes require different treatments. It is recommended to combine specialized examinations to confirm the diagnosis. In this case, it is advised to avoid overexertion, maintain a regular lifestyle, abstain from alcohol, and avoid spicy foods to alleviate the condition. Male urological diseases are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, male patients should actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results.
