Patient's question:
Doctor, I had pain in my left testicle last night, and by the third day, the testicle stopped hurting, but now I have pain in the corresponding left lower abdomen and back. I went to our local hospital for a check-up and they said it was a kidney stone. They treated it with laser, and after the treatment, the pain didn't worsen. But now my left testicle has started to hurt again. What could be the reason? Can a kidney stone cause pain in the testicle?Doctor's answer:
Considering the referred pain caused by urinary system stones, your condition also cannot be ruled out as orchitis. The pain has not decreased, so it is recommended to undergo a thorough ultrasound examination by the urology department for a re-evaluation, and then decide on the treatment. Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, take medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
