Patient's question:
I went for a bath on Friday and after that, I felt pain in my left testicle. I thought it wasn't a big deal, but it's still hurting today. What could be the reason and how should it be treated? How should it be treated specifically? What could cause pain in one testicle?Doctor's answer:
1. Orchitis and epididymitis are often caused by bacterial or viral infections. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, etc.2. It is recommended to go to a local top-tier hospital or a urology hospital with a higher grade for a thorough examination. Treatment can include antibiotics such as azithromycin and levofloxacin hydrochloride. If necessary, bacterial culture can be performed, and sensitive drugs can be used based on the results. Alternatively, you can consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who will adopt methods such as clearing heat and eliminating dampness according to syndrome differentiation. Medications like Sanmiao Wan, Huangbai Capsule, and Longdan Xiegan Wan can also be used based on syndrome differentiation.
