Patient's question:
I have a friend who has recently been feeling unwell and experiencing frequent pain in the testicular area. Both he and his family are very upset, worried about what illness might be affecting his body. They want to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, but they don't know if general hospitals can perform a testicular ultrasound.Doctor's answer:
In this case, a general hospital can usually handle it, but don't go to unlicensed hospitals. If possible, it's still recommended to go to a larger hospital for an ultrasound, because if there are issues, treatment needs to be understood and administered. Whether a general hospital can treat it well is another matter, and transfers or transfers in between hospitals can be very troublesome. Testicular conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it's important to seek treatment from professional and licensed hospitals promptly, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Also, attention should be paid to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a good mood.
