Patient's question:
The left testicle is slightly swollen and painful. Pulling the lower abdomen hurts. Last time I went to the city hospital for an ultrasound, they said it might be due to walking too much, possibly a twist, not epididymitis, but there is some varicocele. I took some anti-inflammatory medication and rested for two days, which improved. In the past few days, I've walked a bit too much. This morning, when I lay down, I felt better, but in the afternoon, I started feeling uncomfortable again. What kind of medication can I take? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
I'm afraid it may be related to varicocele. It is recommended that you continue taking the oral medication from the previous time. If it is effective, you can take oral levofloxacin capsules, among others. The testicles can recover, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, the patient should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
