Patient's question:
First of all, thank you for the doctor's medical ethics. Three months ago, someone lightly hit my right testicle, and I ignored it until it hurt when I talked or walked. After taking medicine for a few days, it healed, but only for a few days. One day, when I lost my temper, the right testicle area became hot, and the sciatic nerve in my buttock and the back of my knee also became hot. I have seen many doctors and had an ultrasound of my testicle, but there was no inflammation found. I have taken many anti-inflammatory drugs. Yesterday, I bought a muscle and bone patch to stick on my buttock and waist and started taking vitamin B. I slept with my legs spread for a nap. Now I am resting quietly and lying down. The sciatic nerve in my buttock and the back of my knee are still hot, and it is also hot at the base of my right testicle. It hurts a bit when I spread my legs, and if I'm not careful, the heat will quickly spread to the testicle. What is going on? Which department should I see? What caused this? After eating today, the groin area is also hot. What is the reason for the pain in the right testicle area?Doctor's answer:
Based on the patient's history and symptom description, it is still possible that the cause is testicular or epididymitis, or varicocele. It is recommended to conduct a detailed ultrasound examination of the affected area for speculation. Timely diagnosis is crucial to prevent future fertility issues. Testicular conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results, and appropriate dietary measures should be taken. Abstinence from sexual activity is also necessary.
