Patient's question:
On the 20th at 5 PM, left testicular pain reappeared. On the 22nd morning, a color Doppler ultrasound was performed, revealing a cyst in the head of the left testicle, uneven echoes on the left side, and normal findings on the right side. Blood flow was normal on both sides. After receiving intravenous medication for 2 days (a third-generation cephalosporin), the symptoms did not show significant improvement. Additionally, besides swelling and redness, what could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of testicular pain include orchitis and testicular torsion. Testicular cysts generally do not cause pain. It is recommended to consult a urology department in a regular public hospital for a follow-up examination. The doctor should conduct a thorough physical examination and re-examine the scrotal ultrasound. It is advised to avoid overwork, excessive overtime, alcohol consumption, and a ban on alcohol, as well as reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods for testicular patients. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition, but if left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
