Patient's question:
A hard cord connected to the right testicle hurts when touched. It was only discovered yesterday while taking a bath, located on the lower side of the testicle. The left one doesn't hurt when touched. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the condition is often considered due to epididymitis causing a heavy and distending pain. Therefore, it is recommended that you wear cotton underwear and raise your testicles while wearing pants. Drink plenty of plain water, apply local cold compress and physiotherapy, avoid overexertion, and the condition will often stabilize. You can also take azithromycin orally. The testicles can recover, but the treatment process is usually slow, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
