Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had testicular pain, and it got better after getting a few injections. Then, I took a few herbal patches, and now my testicles are not red, and they don't feel swollen anymore. Occasionally, I have mild, unconscious pain in my left testicle. What could be the reason for this pain?Doctor's answer:
1. Epididymitis is a common disease among middle-aged and young men, caused by pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, or Streptococcus entering the epididymis through the vas deferens in reverse.2. It is recommended to visit a local top-tier hospital or a urology hospital with a higher grade for a thorough examination. This condition often follows posterior urethritis, prostatitis, or seminal vesiculitis, and may recur after urethral instrumentation or prolonged indwelling catheterization. Infections through the reverse pathway are more common.
