Patient's question:
Last night after spending the night with my girlfriend, I started to feel occasional sharp pain on the right side of my testicle. When the pain occurs, it's quite severe, making it difficult for me to walk. I can't take big steps and have to be very cautious. Sometimes, if I'm not careful and bump into it, the pain becomes unbearable. What could be causing this sharp pain on the right side of my testicle?Doctor's answer:
Although it reappeared after sexual activity, it doesn't necessarily mean it's related to coitus. However, it's still quite abnormal, and it's necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible for a color Doppler ultrasound of the testicles to check for testicular inflammation. The symptoms are currently quite obvious. If the examination cannot be properly conducted and the cause cannot be identified, it will affect overall health and complete recovery. The testicles are relatively fragile and can be easily injured by external force, especially during sexual activity. Improper sexual practices or positions can also easily lead to adverse effects.
