Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I strained too hard during a bowel movement, and my left testicle became uncomfortable. By the third day, intermittent pain had already started. What should I do if touching the testicle doesn't cause pain?Doctor's answer:
The consideration is that it is caused by orchitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a testicular ultrasound examination. Based on your current condition, traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicine can be used for treatment. Medicinal herbs such as Gentiana root, Bupleurum root, Phellodendron bark, Scutellaria root, Plantain seed, and Alisma root can be decocted and consumed. If the pain is severe, applying topical medication to the scrotum can help alleviate the pain. Testicular conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. During this period, a proper diet should be maintained.
