Patient's question:
There is swelling where the testicles are touched, as if something has grown, accompanied by aching pain. The pain also extends upward to the small side, causing aching pain as well. What illness could this be?Doctor's answer:
The pain you are experiencing may be caused by conditions such as orchitis, epididymitis, or varicocele. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a bilateral testicular and epididymal ultrasound to clarify the condition. Then, targeted treatment can be administered to ensure a complete recovery. Additionally, it is important to avoid strenuous exercise, prolonged standing or sitting, and overexertion. Abstinence from alcohol and spicy foods is also advised.The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Moreover, the patient should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
