Patient's question:
Fever for 4 or 5 days in a row, discovered 3 days ago that the left testicle is swollen and painful. Unsure if it's due to inflammation not completely cleared up from the fever, or something else?Doctor's answer:
An 8-year-old male patient has again exhibited symptoms of fever and testicular swelling. The first thing to consider in this case is the possibility of conditions such as orchitis or epididymitis. It is also important to be mindful of the potential causes related to other diseases, such as prostatitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, and so on. In such cases, it is necessary to seek medical diagnosis at a regular hospital's urology department, including examinations such as MRI, routine urine tests, and routine semen tests. Appropriate treatment measures should then be formulated based on the examination results.
