Patient's question:
Last month, this situation happened again. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was said to be mild varicocele. Yesterday, I drank some cold juice, and then felt discomfort in the right testicle again. How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms are aching and discomfort in the right testicle, which may indicate orchitis. If accompanied by swelling in the scrotum, it is also necessary to be cautious of epididymitis. For your condition, it is recommended to revisit the urology department of the hospital. If necessary, an ultrasound of the epididymis and testicle should be performed to confirm the situation. Whether it is orchitis or epididymitis, active antibiotic treatment should be used, such as ceftriaxone. The testicle can recover, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during treatment. We hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
