Patient's question:
Morning urination with white discharge, then some swelling in the testicles, on the right side. After searching on Baidu, I suspect it might be orchitis or epididymitis secondary to a urethral infection. The symptoms are only swelling and mild pain, no fever or vomiting. I was kicked and swollen as a child, and later, occasionally over the past ten or so years, I've had swelling, but it's not very painful. There's no discomfort when walking, but it's noticeable when touched or when sitting.Doctor's answer:
The reason for this condition is primarily considered to be orchitis caused by long-term sitting or spicy food-induced stomach issues. The good news is that timely medication and careful observation are recommended. If this condition reoccurs, oral metronidazole can be used for treatment with careful observation. During the treatment period, it is important to avoid long-term sitting, prevent stomach issues, and avoid spicy foods, making timely adjustments. For patients with orchitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should promptly address the symptoms and, in daily life, avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
