Patient's question:
Two days ago, I suddenly felt a bloated and painful right testicle. When I squeezed it with my hand, it felt quite hard. I've previously experienced symptoms like frequent urination and weak urine flow, and they seem to have worsened recently. I'm wondering what's going on. Should I go to the hospital for a thorough examination?Doctor's answer:
Testicular swelling and pain may be caused by orchitis or epididymitis. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination to identify the underlying cause. Rest and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Wear loose-fitting underwear. Testicular conditions can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow and prone to recurrence. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, appropriate medication, a light diet, avoiding stimulating foods, and not smoking or drinking beer are essential.
