Patient's question:
After running, the testicles swelled and were a bit painful.On June 7th evening, I ran 7 kilometers. After finishing, I felt pain in the testicular area. When I touched it, I noticed that the right testicle was slightly larger than the left. Under the light, I observed that the blood vessels on the scrotum were very red.
After about 2 hours, the pain subsided, and the blood vessels returned to normal. However, the right testicle remained slightly larger. I recalled that it might have been due to wearing loose underwear during the run, causing the testicles to shake continuously.
On June 8th morning, the right testicle was still slightly larger, but it was smaller than the previous night. When walking, I could clearly feel my right thigh hitting the testicle. Also, the amount of urine each time was a bit less than usual.
Doctor, will it heal on its own after a few days of rest? Is there any harm to my health? How should I wear tight underwear normally? What should I pay attention to?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, this symptom should still be caused by inflammation. Pay attention not to wear too tight underwear. If there is inflammation, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice. If there is pain in the genital area, it is suggested to increase exercise and wait until complete recovery before exercising. For patients with testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect the health condition. Therefore, patients should take oral medication in a timely manner and maintain regular sexual life in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting.
