Patient's question:
My boyfriend is 22 years old. Just 10 minutes ago, his left testicle started hurting and it hasn't stopped yet. He hasn't suffered any trauma, and it feels a bit larger than the right one, though it's not red. What could be causing the pain in my boyfriend's left testicle?Doctor's answer:
Left testicular pain is influenced by various factors, such as prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, varicocele, etc. Since the causes differ, the treatment methods vary greatly. It is recommended that you go to a professional and regular hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of experts. Avoid overexertion, maintain a regular lifestyle, abstain from alcohol, and avoid spicy foods to help alleviate the condition. Testicular conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. Moreover, male patients should seek medical attention at a professional and regular hospital immediately.
