Patient's question:
I feel a pain like a needle in a tendon under the testicles. It's usually painful after urinating, but recently, even without urinating, it hurts. This has been going on for two years. It's usually painful at night, and it started hurting after urinating, but now it hurts even without urinating. It's been hurting for two days. What's wrong?Doctor's answer:
It is highly likely that the symptoms are caused by prostatitis or epididymitis. Currently, the first recommendation is for you to take oral medication to see if the symptoms can be alleviated. If they are alleviated, you should wait and see. If the symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a scrotal MRI to check for the possibility of epididymitis. For testicular patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence, but if it is not treated in time, it may affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms in a timely manner and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
