Patient's question:
It has been hurting for two days. The day before yesterday, I had a break from sex, and it hurt for a while, but I didn't pay much attention. Then I had sex again, and it has been hurting ever since. It has been two days now, and the pain is more noticeable at night. When I touch it with my hand, the pain is obvious. The left side is much harder than the right side. There are no external injuries. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to conduct a thorough examination. This can basically clarify whether the condition is caused by trauma or inflammation. Based solely on the symptoms, it is difficult to determine. The testicles can recover, but the treatment process is usually slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
