Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and it's quite severe. It seems like the other side is also slightly swollen. I'm very worried. What should I do about the testicular pain?Doctor's answer:
Pain in the left testicle may suggest a higher possibility of testitis or epididymitis. It is recommended to take oral levofloxacin, cefuroxime axetil, and metronidazole tablets, combined with the pain-relieving medication loxoprofen sodium. Alternatively, intravenous infusion of ceftriaxone, levofloxacin, and ornidazole can be administered.During treatment, avoid alcohol, spicy, and irritating foods. Additionally, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Male urological conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals based on thorough examination results. Furthermore, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
