Patient's question:
I recently had pain in my testicles and they were also itchy. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. Now, my testicles are experiencing dull pain again. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described above, it is suspected that the testicular pain is caused by varicocele. If not treated actively, it may interfere with future fertility. It is best to visit another hospital for treatment evaluation. A semen analysis should be conducted to determine how it is affecting fertility. Varicocele usually does not require surgical treatment if it has no obvious symptoms and the person is able to conceive. Non-surgical methods include wearing tight-fitting underwear and carefully observing. If the varicocele is of degree two or higher, early surgical treatment is recommended. My explanation is hoped to be of some help to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
