Patient's question:
I have pain and swelling in one side of my testicle, accompanied by a dull ache in my lower abdomen. It's been three days now. At night, when lying down, there's no pain. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
Recurring testicular pain accompanied by lower abdominal discomfort may be indicative of prostatitis or left varicocele. It can be confirmed through tests such as routine prostatic fluid analysis and color Doppler ultrasound of the reproductive system. Rest more, and if it is prostatitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be used for treatment. If it is varicocele, surgery can be performed, but the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. It is also recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period.
