Patient's question:
My testicles have grown a bit larger, and there is pain during ejaculation after intercourse. The next day, I experience lower back and leg pain. The hospital said it might be orchitis. How can I confirm if it is orchitis?Doctor's answer:
The testis is the male reproductive organ where sperm is produced. Testitis is a relatively common condition caused by local bacterial infection. Its diagnosis primarily relies on symptoms and color Doppler ultrasound examination. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention at a formal hospital's urology department for a physical examination of the testis and color Doppler ultrasound. If testitis is confirmed, active medication treatment is necessary, along with regular follow-up to monitor recovery.
