Patient's question:
When sitting and answering, I feel a fullness in my right testicle, but it's not visible on the surface. Usually, there's no fullness sensation when walking or moving around. Six months ago, I had a thorough examination and was told it was prostatitis. I want to ask the doctor, is this a symptom of prostatitis? This sensation has lasted for a year, and it's getting lighter, but there's still a feeling of fullness. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Testicular pain and swelling are not related to the prostate.Recommendations:
- Pay attention to personal hygiene and change your underwear frequently.
- Keep the perineal area clean and dry.
- It is best to visit a regular public hospital’s urology department for a check-up, including a color Doppler ultrasound to examine for varicocele.
Testicular pain can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor’s medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
