Patient's question:
In 2007, I felt a slight pain in my right testicle, but it was just a sensation and not very noticeable, so I didn't pay much attention. Now, the pain is more obvious and occurs more frequently. I can feel a lump near the head of the right epididymis with my hand. I went to the hospital for a detailed examination of prostatic fluid bacterial culture, which showed Staphylococcus aureus. I took two boxes of minocycline, and now I'm wondering whether to focus on taking the medicine or to go for another detailed examination. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, currently, besides the absence of pain and other discomfort symptoms, if there are no symptoms or signs at present, you can first go to a regular hospital for a re-examination and then decide based on the situation.Suggestion: Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy, dry, and hot foods as well as smoking and alcohol. Give up unhealthy living habits, eat more fruits and vegetables, go to bed early and wake up early, and strengthen your body. Temporarily avoid sexual activity.
For patients with testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If treatment is delayed, it may affect fertility.
