Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I had a dull ache in my left testicle. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and there were no issues found. However, the examination of my prostatic fluid revealed white blood cells, so it was diagnosed as chronic prostatitis. I took medication for two weeks, and the pain has gone away. I was wondering why it still swells on the left side and if it's normal to have pain in the left testicle.Doctor's answer:
This chronic prostatitis tends to recur repeatedly, so it is recommended to use medication promptly to suppress it. He said that it is essential to drink plenty of water daily to enhance its metabolism, which would be much better. For patients with testicular issues, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
