What's wrong with one swollen and heavy testicle?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I felt that one of my testicles had become larger a few weeks ago, and it has started to cause a dull pain and a sensation of heaviness. I don't know what this could be. Do I need treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Recurring swelling of one testicle is likely due to orchitis. However, to make a specific diagnosis, many routine and thorough examinations are necessary. It is recommended that you visit a formal urological hospital for examination to understand the cause of sepsis and the type of disease. Then, more targeted screening can be conducted. Do not delay treatment due to fear of the disease. The condition of testicular swelling tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and formal hospitals and consider the treatment based on the examination results.
