Patient's question:
There is pain between the testicles and the root of the thigh, and it hurts only when touched with the hand. It doesn't hurt when it's not touched. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Through your description, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. Relying solely on pain cannot lead to a definitive diagnosis. As for advice, orchitis is caused by bacterial or viral infections and manifests as pain, fever, testicular pain, and referred pain. It is best to go to the hospital for routine tests of prostatic fluid and semen, as well as a color Doppler ultrasound of the testicles. Identifying the cause and confirming the diagnosis, followed by active treatment, is the key. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek treatment promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
