The doctor recently noticed that the left testicle has become enlarged and is quite hard. It has been like this for over ten days, and it has been ( does not need translation, remains as is) for the past two days. Please diagnose what the situation is and what medication can be used to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the condition is considered to be a symptom caused by inflammation of the testicles and epididymis. It is recommended that you seek a thorough examination with color Doppler ultrasound at a professional urology department to make an accurate diagnosis. If it is determined to be an inflammatory response, timely anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered. Cold compresses can be applied daily to alleviate the symptoms. The testicles can recover, but the treatment process is usually slow, 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, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow a balanced diet during the treatment period.
