Patient's question:
I've had this condition for about 7 or 8 weeks. The symptoms are a persistent dark red small patch on the left side of the scrotum, occasionally a small bump about 4 millimeters in diameter will appear after a few days or 10 days without notice, and then it disappears within a few hours. However, the dark red patch remains. What could be the cause? What kind of assistance would you like: Please help me verify whether it is orchitis or another condition, and what medication can be used?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of orchitis are as follows: high fever, chills, pain in the affected testicle, and referred pain in the scrotum, groin, and inguinal region. The affected testicle is swollen and tender, and if inflamed, it may feel like a sensation of pus accumulation. It is often accompanied by redness and swelling of the scrotal skin. As you mentioned, it may not be orchitis symptoms, and it could be caused by conditions such as scrotal eczema, sebaceous gland inflammation, or folliculitis. Therefore, do not panic and do not delay seeking medical treatment. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery.For orchitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If it is not treated promptly, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication.
