What should I do if the scrotum is red and a little painful?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my testicles are different sizes, which I only recently discovered. They weren't like this before. I have some redness and pain on the scrotum. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described above, the preliminary consideration is scrotal inflammation. Pay attention to personal hygiene, clean and dry the area promptly, change underwear frequently, and apply erythromycin ointment after sterilizing with povidone-iodine. Take oral antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment. Avoid spicy foods. If necessary, seek medical attention for a thorough examination to rule out eczema. Male reproductive health conditions can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medications appropriately, and maintain a light diet, avoiding stimulating foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
