Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I was hit from behind while riding my bike! I hit my right testicle! At first, there was significant swelling and pain, but after these past few days, the swelling has gone down! How long will it take for it to completely subside?Doctor's answer:
If you suffer a testicular injury while riding a bike, it is recommended to go to the urology department of a hospital for a detailed testicular ultrasound examination. If the scrotum is swollen, treatments such as bed rest, local cold compresses, swelling reduction, blood circulation promotion, anti-inflammatory, and symptomatic treatment can be applied. The condition of the testicles is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is crucial to seek immediate treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
