Patient's question:
The testicles hurt a bit when touched, there's a cramping pain in the lower abdomen, and it alternates between sides—pain on the left yesterday and the right today. There's pain in the glans during erection. I feel like I've drunk a lot of water, but there's water retention in the lower abdomen, yet I can't urinate. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is considered to be caused by orchitis, which leads to pain and discomfort in the testicles and abdomen. It is best to go to the urology department of the hospital for a testicular ultrasound and blood routine examination to identify the cause. After the diagnosis is confirmed, oral anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken for treatment. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
