Patient's question:
Left testicular swelling and pain, twice as large as the right side, just started two days ago, hurts when touched, sometimes moves the leg and it hurts when moved. Is this situation serious?Doctor's answer:
Based on the described situation, it is important to consider the inflammatory response of the testes and epididymis that may be causing these clinical manifestations. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough examination of both testes and epididymis using color Doppler ultrasound in a professional urology department. This will help in making a clear assessment and determining the appropriate medication and physical treatment methods. Testicular swelling can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, the patient should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
