Patient's question:
I have phimosis. It was fine before, but recently I've been feeling a strong itch inside my urethra, and urination has a burning sensation. Then I noticed a lot of dirt in my foreskin and suspected it might be balanitis. Next, my left testicle suddenly started hurting. I checked it myself and thought it might be balanitis, so I bought some anti-inflammatory medication and took it. Now all the symptoms have disappeared. But I accidentally noticed a lump below my left testicle. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
It is likely that the symptoms are caused by inflammation. It is recommended that you take many anti-inflammatory medications for the urinary system, carefully observe the situation, and pay attention to cleaning regularly. If it does not improve, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Testicular conditions tend to fluctuate, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment from professional and reputable hospitals promptly, and treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
