Patient's question:
In the morning, before it was light, my stomach hurt so much that I quickly put on my clothes and ran to the bathroom to have a bowel movement. I ran too fast and, without realizing it, my testicle hit the doorknob. It was swollen and painful. I rested in bed for a day, and it should be almost better, but it still hurts. What could be the reason for the swollen and painful left testicle?Doctor's answer:
If there is a sudden recurrence of significant pain and swelling in one testicle, this is often considered to be directly related to epididymitis. It is generally more likely to worsen after an injury. It is recommended that you consider visiting a hospital promptly for a detailed ultrasound examination of the testicle to further clarify the issue. If a significant infection is confirmed, timely oral antibiotics should be taken to address the problem. For patients with urological conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
