Patient's question:
One side of the testicle is very painful. When touched, it feels larger inside than the other side, as if it's swollen. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It could be orchitis. It is recommended to take oral cephalexin and metronidazole tablets. At the same time, wear loose and comfortable cotton underwear. If the symptoms do not improve, it is best to go to a regular hospital for follow-up. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, the patient should have a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
