Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they started to hurt, especially when touched, and the other side seems to be swollen as well. I am very worried. Please ask: How should testicular inflammation be treated to improve it?Doctor's answer:
Testicular can recur due to urethritis and cystitis. The common pathogens include Escherichia coli, Proteus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The transmission routes are mainly divided into hematogenous transmission, direct transmission, and lymphatic transmission. Clinical diagnosis primarily 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 rule out 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, and after identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition. If left untreated, the disease may worsen, potentially leading to sexual dysfunction and infertility.
