Patient's question:
Around May, I suddenly experienced pain and swelling in my left testicle while taking a nap in the afternoon. On the third day, I went for a thorough examination and received a week of intravenous fluids at the hospital, along with medication. As of August, the swelling has disappeared, the pain has subsided, and the testicle has returned to its normal size. However, the entire oval-shaped testicle remains in a hard state.Doctor's answer:
There may be orchitis or epididymitis that can cause the testicles to reappear pain symptoms, which can be further improved by conducting a detailed ultrasound examination of the testicles. Blood tests may be performed when necessary to check for infection indicators, and antibiotics will be prescribed based on the test results to suppress inflammation and infection. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
