Patient's question:
I am 19 years old. What causes testicular pain? It only hurts on one side. The pain condition occurs many times a year, but not frequently. It has happened about 4 to 5 times. Almost every time, the pain lasts for a day, and then it's better after sleeping at night. Why does it hurt?Doctor's answer:
In this case, the consideration is that the pain is caused by epididymitis. Have you undergone any additional thorough examinations? Do you engage in excessive sexual activity? For this condition, if there has been sexual activity, it is recommended to immediately cease it. Additionally, it is advisable to have a color Doppler ultrasound examination of the testicles. If there are cysts in the epididymis, it indicates that the inflammation has led to this manifestation. It is recommended to take oral anti-inflammatory medication. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, the patient should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
