Patient's question:
My testicles are a bit swollen and sore. Is testicular torsion very painful? What are the symptoms of testicular torsion?Doctor's answer:
Testicular torsion usually causes recurrent severe scrotal pain, which is very difficult to endure. Based on your description of the symptoms, it is more likely to be caused by epididymitis. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough examination in the urology department of the hospital for a definitive diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. The testicle can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial 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.
