Patient's question:
Last night, there was pain in the left testicle, but it wasn't very severe. There was something covering it externally, and I also had some abdominal pain. After more than an hour, the pain completely disappeared. Do I need to go to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is likely orchitis. It is best to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to make a thorough diagnosis and receive targeted treatment. This should resolve the issue quickly. Avoid treating it blindly to prevent missing the opportunity to manage the condition! Rest and pay attention to hygiene in these days, keep the area clean and dry, maintain a light diet, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. I wish you a speedy recovery! For patients with testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If it is not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication on time and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life.
