Patient's question:
The other day, while working, I stood for more than 5 hours every day and felt a heavy pain in my testicles, with pain on both sides. Later, after resting at home for two days, the pain was significantly reduced, almost unnoticeable. However, I feel something is off—I can feel that the right side is lower when standing compared to the left, and it's higher when lying down, with the scrotum feeling very loose. What could be going on? What medicine should I take? I don't want to go to the hospital.Doctor's answer:
First, it's important to consider whether the inflammation is due to an infectious phenomenon, which is often related to recent overwork or lack of hydration. It is recommended to start with local cold compresses and take oral roxithromycin capsules for a few days to see if it improves. It's important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and avoid overexertion in the near future. This should gradually lead to a full recovery. The testicles can recover, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it's crucial to use medications that are appropriate for the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
