Patient's question:
I am an 18-year-old male with prostatitis. Three months ago, while playing basketball, I accidentally got hit in my right testicle. It hurt a bit at the time, but it never swelled, and I didn't pay much attention to it afterward. However, starting a few days ago, my right testicle has started to hurt again, and it is positioned higher than the left one. Doctor, could this be testicular necrosis or something like testicular torsion?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, trauma has caused testicular pain. I suggest you go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to diagnose the issue. You can currently take some anti-inflammatory medication for symptomatic treatment. However, this condition can also be treated with local cold compresses or local heat therapy. You can take azithromycin and metronidazole tablets. Underwear must be worn much looser. Pay attention to drinking more water in your diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. The testicles can stabilize, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet. We hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
