Patient's question:
The left testicle is swollen like an egg, and it hurts when touched. There is also pain when walking and rubbing against something?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent testicular swelling and tenderness. It is likely orchitis. Treatment is required. Orchitis is generally caused by viral or bacterial infections. A thorough examination can be self-diagnosed by touching the testicles to check for swelling, tenderness, or a vibrating sensation, or by undergoing an ultrasound for a definitive diagnosis. Treatment can involve applying 50% magnesium sulfate to the affected area, along with systemic anti-inflammatory therapy, such as penicillin or gentamicin. Your condition requires immediate medical attention for proper diagnosis. Testicular conditions tend to recur, and long-term medication is often necessary.
