Patient's question:
A few days ago, my testicles swelled up and were painful. I went to the pharmacy and they gave me a topical ointment to apply. Now it's like this. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
This could be a case of orchitis. Opinion: The dry, scaly skin on the scrotal surface may be related to the topical medication. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and undergo a detailed check-up, including a color Doppler ultrasound, to confirm the diagnosis of orchitis. The condition of the testicles tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
