Patient's question:
I have a swollen and painful testicle, and sitting causes pain. Sometimes the pain is so severe that I can't even stand up. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Testicular pain is generally caused by epididymitis, which is a non-specific infection of the epididymis. It is often transmitted to the epididymis after suffering from urethritis, prostatitis, or seminal vesiculitis. Acute testicular inflammation is usually transmitted through hematogenous or lymphatic pathways and can also be a complication of various infectious diseases. For example, after infection with the mumps virus, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to immediately seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
