Patient's question:
For a while now, my testicles have been slightly swollen and aching. Recently, they've started to hurt more, especially when touched, and it's particularly intense. It seems like the other side is also slightly swollen. I'm very worried. How should I treat testicular swelling and pain?Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to your description, it is recommended that you visit a urologist at a regular hospital for conditions such as orchitis. Avoid tight underwear that constricts the scrotum and use support to keep it elevated. Take oral antibiotics, avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and refrain from sexual activity during this period. Drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and have regular bowel movements daily. For patients with male reproductive health issues, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect your health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
