Patient's question:
I am a high school student. Because it is very embarrassing to admit, I have never asked for help from others, but I feel very uneasy inside. I have a habit of squeezing my testicles, and this year I have done it about 15 times. It seems that none of my same-sex peers have this habit. How is it that frequent squeezing of the testicles can affect one?Doctor's answer:
If it's just occasional contact, generally speaking, it doesn't have too significant an impact on health. You need to pay attention to your forceful habits and avoid being too rough. If excessive force is used, it may lead to testicular damage, which can cause testicular pain, local swelling, blood clots, and other conditions. In severe cases, it may even lead to testicular torsion. So if you currently have no discomfort, there's no problem, but you need to ensure it doesn't happen again in the future. The condition of urological diseases tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it's crucial to immediately go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination.
