Patient's question:
A 10-year-old boy feels severe pain in his left testicle when coughing. The left lymph nodes are sore, and the left hip lymph nodes are pea-sized when lightly pressed. What kind of inflammation is this?Doctor's answer:
Consider the possibility of orchitis or epididymitis as the cause. Pay attention to adequate rest, avoid strenuous exercise, and maintain good hygiene of the groin area. You can use anti-inflammatory medication for treatment. It is best to have an ultrasound examination of the testicles at the hospital and receive targeted treatment. The testicles can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid sitting or riding for long periods. Pay close attention to personal hygiene.
