Patient's question:
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 caused by inflammation of the testes and epididymis. It is recommended that you seek a thorough examination with color Doppler ultrasound from a professional urology department to make a clear diagnosis. If it is indeed an inflammatory response, timely anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered, and cold compresses can be applied daily to alleviate the symptoms. The testes 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.
