Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been experiencing testicular pain and itching recently. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. What should I do if my testicles are drooping?Doctor's answer:
Testicular descent is a normal phenomenon, a self-protective function of the body to safeguard sperm. When the weather is hot, the temperature of the testicles decreases, which can cause sperm to die. Therefore, the scrotum curves to conduct heat. Conversely, when it's cold, the scrotum contracts on its own to keep the testicles at a constant temperature. Male urological diseases tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical treatment promptly. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should also be observed. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
