Patient's question:
Left testicle has been aching and swollen recently. Could you please help me understand what this condition might be? If it's epididymitis, what would be the best treatment approach?Doctor's answer:
Currently, if you are referring to inflammation of the testicles, it directly affects sperm. The testicles are the site where sperm is produced, which may reduce the likelihood of conception. Regarding your situation, if the semen is exposed to temperature changes in the external environment, it can significantly increase the chances of conception. In your case, the likelihood of conception is extremely low. Epididymitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
