Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen with a dull ache. Recently, they've started to hurt, especially when touched, and it's particularly intense. It seems like the other side is also somewhat swollen. I'm very worried. Please help: pain at the base of the penis, between the testiclesDoctor's answer:
This could be epididymitis. Timely anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary. Rest well, avoid overtime work, excessive exertion, and smoking or drinking alcohol. Maintain a regular lifestyle, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do not wear leather pants, jeans, or underwear. Take oral anti-inflammatory medication. If there is no improvement, it is recommended to see a doctor promptly for a color Doppler ultrasound examination. 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. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, and maintain good personal hygiene. Finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
