Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my testicles have been swollen, with a lump at the bottom and a painful sensation nearby. Last night, after falling asleep, there were traces of spewed liquid on the bed sheet and duvet, which I only noticed tonight. What's going on? Is it serious? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Considering orchitis may lead to testicular enlargement, pain, and discomfort, it is recommended to follow a light and regular diet. Seek a thorough ultrasound examination in the urology department of a local reputable general hospital to confirm the diagnosis. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, rest, and avoid frequent sexual activity. The condition of testicular swelling tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital based on examination results. Additionally, quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
