Patient's question:
I used to have prostatitis, and it caused pain in my left testicle. The pain was so severe that I couldn't straighten my back, but it improved after three days and hasn't hurt since. Now, sometimes when I eat too much chili, I get lower abdominal pain, followed by pain in both pelvic bones and my testicles. It feels like something has been moved when I touch it a few times, but it improves after an hour or two, and the pain goes away. I read online that if a testicle dies, it will move and hurt, which makes me a bit worried. Could this be testicle necrosis? What are the symptoms of testicle necrosis? Is the pain constant?Doctor's answer:
I have previously experienced testicular pain due to prostatitis. Recently, I developed stomach pain and testicular pain after eating spicy food. Testicular torsion causes persistent pain. I suggest you: go to a regular hospital's urology department for a thorough examination, undergo a color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system based on your specific condition, pay attention to your diet, eat less spicy and irritating foods, avoid overworking, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor, take medication appropriately, and also develop good living habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
