Patient's question:
What department should I go to for testicular swelling? What department should I go to for testicular swelling?Doctor's answer:
You can see a urologist or a male doctor, but it's necessary to go to a formal hospital. It's better to see a urologist, as medication can be more effective. The key is the location where your condition is occurring, so you should seek treatment as soon as possible. Enlarged testicles are commonly associated with orchitis or epididymitis. In orchitis, the affected testicle appears diffusely smaller, but still maintains a flattened oval shape. During the acute phase, the main symptoms include swelling and tenderness of the testicle, which may also radiate to the inguinal area. If there is a bacterial infection, it can form an abscess with a sense of vibration. Orchitis patients often experience redness and swelling of the scrotal skin. Enlarged testicles can be cured, but the treatment usually takes a long time, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms.
