Based on the situation you described, it is preliminarily considered that this may be caused by gout and prostatitis. It is recommended that you actively seek medical re-examination, as a doctor's detailed physical examination and auxiliary tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis and treatment. The testicles can be stable, but the general treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
