Patient's question:
Just on the left side, there is varicocele in the left testicle, which was discovered during a thorough examination. There is no discomfort or pain, but it was found after careful examination that sitting for long periods without movement is a concern. The hospital's thorough examination revealed inflammation in the left testicle, prostatitis, and excessive foreskin. Four months ago, I had a circumcision surgery at People's Hospital, but it wasn't done properly. Yesterday, during the examination, I was told that another surgery is needed. In addition to bacteria at the urethral opening and some congestion in the corpus cavernosum, these are the results from a private hospital examination. I wonder if all these issues are caused by excessive foreskin.Doctor's answer:
The patient's condition requires a follow-up visit to the Urology Department of Renmin Hospital for a thorough examination of the urine routine to determine the presence of urinary tract infection. For cases of balanitis, treatment with potassium permanganate foot bath can stabilize symptoms, and no special measures are needed. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial for the patient to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, the patient should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
