Patient's question:
I've been feeling pain in my testicles for the past two days, and my lower back and the back of my thighs are also sore. My legs feel weak, and sometimes the pain comes and goes. When I lie down, it doesn't hurt. How is this happening?Doctor's answer:
There is a higher possibility of orchitis, which primarily manifests as testicular pain, reflex pain in the scrotum and groin. For orchitis, the first step is to rest in bed and support the scrotum, followed by local cold compresses. When the pain is severe, painkillers can be taken, and if necessary, broad-spectrum antibiotics can be considered for systemic treatment. The condition of the testicles is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and regular medical diagnosis promptly and consider treatment based on examination results. It is also important to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
