Patient's question:
Doctor, yesterday afternoon after playing basketball and coming home, I noticed my left testicle was swollen while taking a bath. It feels slightly painful when touched, a bit tight, and the skin is red. Should I go to the hospital for a thorough examination? Thank you very much for your clarification, thank you.Doctor's answer:
Reappearance of bilateral testicular asymmetry, with mild tenderness, is mostly caused by factors such as orchitis or epididymitis. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, dietary habits, and daily routines. Avoid consuming irritating foods, and ensure adequate and quality deep sleep while maintaining a positive mindset. Early medical consultation for ultrasound and other diagnostic examinations is recommended. If infection is present, antibiotics should be prescribed for anti-inflammatory treatment.
