Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I noticed my testicles felt a bit swollen. I woke up earlier and thought I might have a fever, and it got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I'm really worried. Could you please tell me how to check if my penis and testicles are swollen and if urination is difficult?Doctor's answer:
Your question should be considered in terms of urinary system diseases, such as prostatitis or nephritis.Recommendation: It is best to visit the urology department of a local hospital for a blood and urine test, renal function test, and a detailed ultrasound examination of the prostate, bladder, and kidneys.
Prostate diseases in men tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on the examination results. Moreover, it is important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
