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 somewhat swollen. I'm very worried. Could you please explain what causes testicular pain and if it's serious?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, you experienced some difficulty urinating in the morning, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in the rectum again after urinating. The symptoms improved after urination. This situation is likely caused by a urethral stone, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine how to remove the stone and to drink more water. Male urological conditions tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
