Patient's question:
Yesterday morning, I noticed a pain in a specific area on the left testicle (not the entire one) without any redness or swelling. I didn't feel any discomfort while walking. I rarely exercise and have a habit of sitting for long periods, often working overtime. I usually have sexual intercourse once a week. Is this situation normal? Should I go to the hospital for a check-up?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the clinical symptoms are considered to be caused by inflammatory reactions in the testes and epididymis. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough ultrasound examination in a professional urology and andrology department for a clear diagnosis and avoid strenuous activities. For patients with testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain a regular lifestyle, avoiding prolonged sitting.
