Patient's question:
Both sides of the testicles are swollen, without pain or itching. I went to the city hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound and a urinalysis. The doctor said the ultrasound was fine, but the urinalysis showed a slight urinary tract infection, which wasn't a big deal. He prescribed ciprofloxacin. The ultrasound results showed a liquid dark area around the right testicle, about 4.2 mm deep. The doctor said the dark fluid in my right testicle was nothing to worry about, but I still feel like my testicles are swollen. He said it's just psychological. Is this symptom normal?Doctor's answer:
Fluid-filled area around the testicle, considered testicular tunica vaginalis inflammation or effusion. Testicular swelling may be related to inflammation. It is recommended to take cefixime dispersible tablets orally to treat inflammation. Cold compress is not recommended around the testicle. The testicle can be supported to promote inflammation subsidence. For testicular patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in time, it may affect health conditions. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
