Patient's question:
Chronic orchitis and epididymitis for three years, always with a dull pain in the left testicle. The pain subsides after taking medication and intravenous fluids, but it returns when spicy food is consumed. There are no lumps on the epididymis, and urination is normal. Sometimes, prolonged erection of the penis causes testicular pain. I hope the doctor can provide some effective advice. I have not married yet and wish to preserve my fertility.Doctor's answer:
Left testicular pain may be a symptom caused by inflammation. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to clarify the condition. After confirmation, take anti-inflammatory medication, apply erythromycin ointment externally, and maintain a light diet with reduced spicy food intake. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
