Patient's question:
In the past few months, I've been feeling dizzy, weak in my limbs, decreased appetite, and accompanied by symptoms of frequent urination and urgency. There's a heavy, swollen, and red sensation between my legs, especially around my testicles, which is very painful to touch. My libido has also decreased. After testicular surgery, what should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
The indications for orchiectomy include the following situations:1. Testicular tumors or other tumors within the scrotum.
2. Severe testicular injury, with retrograde spermatic cord inversion leading to testicular abscess.
3. High cryptorchidism with swelling, or testicular atrophy due to chronic hydrocele.
4. Recurrent pyoepididymitis or advanced epididymo-orchitis.
5. Prostate cancer, or a small portion of benign prostatic hyperplasia requiring castration treatment.
Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
