Patient's question:
For the past three or four days, I have had balanitis. The doctor prescribed me to soak with Compound Huangbai Liquid Ointment and apply Triamcinolone Acetonide and Econazole Cream. I have been using the medication for two days now, and my testicles have become like this, with severe pain. What is going on? Is it the wrong medication or am I using it incorrectly? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Because of recurrent testicular pain after topical medication treatment for balanitis, it is considered possible to be epididymitis based on the images. This has nothing to do with the medication for balanitis. It is recommended to perform a detailed ultrasound examination of the testicles, epididymis, and scrotum, as well as routine urine and blood tests. Active antibiotic treatment should be initiated. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the test results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
