Patient's question:
I am 20 years old. A week ago, I was playing basketball with my classmates and injured my testicles. For the next one or two days, I had a burning sensation during urination, but there was no severe pain in the testicles. Since then, I have had a burning pain around my kidneys (especially the back part) and have been unable to achieve normal erections. During a nap (in a dazed state), I once noticed that I could get an erection. The penis shows no response to any sensitive stimulation. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons that can cause testicular pain, such as external trauma. In addition to testicular inflammation, hydrocele, scrotal inflammation, epididymitis, and varicocele, these conditions can also lead to pain. If the pain is caused by inflammation, medication and intravenous fluids can be effective. However, if the varicocele is moderate to severe, surgery may be necessary. Testicular conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital in a timely manner. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
