Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing testicular swelling and tenderness. The scrotal skin is also slightly red and swollen. After examination, it was diagnosed as orchitis. Can a small testicle be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, a comprehensive analysis is conducted; there are many reasons for testicular atrophy, including congenital genetic factors, as well as acquired secondary causes. Congenital factors are relatively rare. Most cases are caused by testicular sperm production dysfunction or obstruction of the vas deferens. Due to the inability to conduct a physical examination, a comprehensive understanding of the condition is limited; further diagnosis is necessary. You should go to a private top-tier Grade III hospital's urology and perinatal surgery department for a thorough and detailed examination. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered. The six sexual hormone tests should be conducted; if it is indeed primary testicular dysfunction, a testicular biopsy should be performed. Male urological conditions tend to recur frequently, requiring long-term medication intake.
