Patient's question:
I have a bit of a masochistic rebellious mentality. Right now, my right testicle is large and feels swollen and numb. Is this because the testicle has died? What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Post-testicular symptoms are commonly characterized by sudden sharp pain in the scrotum, which can lead to lower abdominal pain. At times, the pain may be very intense, causing the patient to arch their back and turn pale. Upon careful examination, it can be found that the testicle is swollen and distended, in a twisted position, and lifting the scrotum can alleviate the pain. Therefore, your condition is unlikely to be an abscess. Post-testicular symptoms are commonly characterized by sudden sharp pain in the scrotum, which can lead to lower abdominal pain.
