Patient's question:
This situation has been going on for a while. I often feel like there's fluid accumulating in my testicles, and they are swollen and red. However, because it's that particular area, it's a bit embarrassing to see a doctor. I did some research and think it might be testicular inflammation. Could you please tell me: How can testicular inflammation be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Testicular can recur following urethritis and cystitis. The common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The transmission routes are primarily divided into hematogenous transmission, direct transmission, and lymphatic transmission. Clinical diagnosis mainly manifests as pain radiating to the ipsilateral inguinal region and lower abdomen, accompanied by chills, high fever, and gastrointestinal symptoms. It is also necessary to differentiate it from epididymitis, where the boundaries between the epididymis, testis, and epididymis become unclear, the epididymis becomes hardened, and the vas deferens becomes thickened. Please seek medical attention promptly for follow-up diagnosis. Once the cause is identified, targeted treatment should be initiated to avoid delaying the condition. If left untreated, the disease can worsen, potentially leading to sexual dysfunction and infertility.
