What should I do if the scrotum of a child hurts when touched?

Patient's question:

Testicles hurt when touched but don't hurt when not touched. There's nothing wrong when the two testicles bump into each other. Don't change underwear frequently. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

It is necessary to consider orchitis or epididymitis. It is recommended to visit a pediatric surgery department in the hospital for a follow-up examination, undergo a color Doppler ultrasound of the testicles, epididymis, and spermatic cord, and test the condition. If there is significant inflammation, timely treatment is required. The condition of the testicles tends to recur, and long-term medication intake is necessary. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment in professional and reputable hospitals based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
