Patient's question:
I accidentally twisted my testicle a few times today (it was probably just a few twists, but it seemed like it moved abruptly a few times). There's no swelling, pain, or redness. At night when I'm active, it feels a bit painful, but it's not noticeable and seems like it's in my head. There's no significant pain, and even if there is some pain, it's extremely faint and almost imperceptible, making me unsure whether it's actually painful. Could something be wrong with my testicle? Should I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up?Doctor's answer:
In this case, the consideration is that the possibility of infection is high. Is it particularly painful or just a little painful. If it's particularly painful, testicular torsion cannot be ruled out. Generally, if it hurts when pressed, it's considered local inflammation. It's necessary to have an MRI first to take a look. The condition of the testicles is prone to recurring, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it's important to promptly seek medical attention at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, attention should be paid to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a good mood.
