Patient's question:
A few days ago, I suddenly experienced a heavy and swollen sensation in my testicles. Touching the spherical mass caused pain. My left testicle is noticeably larger than the right, and touching the spherical mass also caused pain?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms you mentioned, such as testicular swelling accompanied by pain or discomfort during palpation, have recurred over the past few days. Is it possible that it was caused by an injury, or did it develop after a fever? Based on an initial assessment, it is likely that you have either orchitis or epididymitis. The condition can be relieved, 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 your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should follow a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
