Patient's question:
Doctor, this is the case. I've been experiencing some pain in my thigh area recently, and my testicles also feel a bit painful. The pain worsens when sitting, but it doesn't hurt when lying down. My colleague said it might be prostatitis, while a friend suggested it could be varicocele. What are the differences between prostatitis and varicocele?Doctor's answer:
After the symptoms of prostatitis reappear, there will be frequent urination, urgent urination, weak urine flow, difficulty urinating, dripping urine, and a sense of fullness or heaviness in the perineum. If varicocele reappears, there may be testicular pain, a sense of fullness or heaviness, and pain radiating to the inner thigh. You are currently experiencing pain in the inner thigh and some testicular pain, which may be caused by varicocele or orchitis. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound to diagnose the condition before treatment. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can help reduce the recurrence of the disease.
