Patient's question:
I recently noticed that my testicles feel a bit hidden when I'm in bed with my girlfriend. Every time we have sex, it lasts about half an hour, and we do it three times a week. My external testicles feel a bit sore. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It leads to some bacterial infections presenting with a dull ache in the testicles, which is mostly considered to be due to inadequate hygiene after sexual activity. It could also be caused by referred pain from prostatitis. It is necessary to visit the urology department for examination. In terms of treatment, you can take anti-inflammatory and blood-activating medications. Specific medication should be decided upon by a doctor. Additionally, you can gently massage the Guanyuan acupoint. Testicular pain is often ischemic pain, with severe pain during movement and relief during rest. The prostate fluid microscopic examination is normal, as the pain is caused by atherosclerosis of the testicular artery leading to narrowed arteries. Testicular atherosclerosis is often a local manifestation of systemic vascular inflammation and is usually unilateral, with the left side being more common than the right. It is recommended to visit the urology department for a thorough examination to rule out prostatic inflammation.
