Patient's question:
Right testicular swelling and pain, also a bit of pain in the lower abdomen, is it an inflammation?Doctor's answer:
It should be acute orchitis or epididymitis, mainly characterized by a heavy and distended feeling in the affected scrotum, severe pain that can radiate to the same side of the abdomen and lower abdomen, swelling of the scrotum, redness of the skin, and upon careful examination, the contralateral epididymis is found to be swollen with significant tenderness. In the early stages, the boundary between the testis and epididymis is clear, and the seminal vesicle appears edematous and thickened. You can first get a blood test done. If there is a decrease in white blood cells, the diagnosis can generally be confirmed based on clinical symptoms and physical examination. In this case, it is crucial not to delay seeking treatment and to visit a regular hospital for follow-up and treatment as soon as possible.
